DAY CURRENT IS
URGENTLY NEEDED
DARK STORES AND OFFICES DUR
ING WINTER DAYS. RELIEF
is OFFERED.

There has been considerable talk
the last few weeks of day electric
current, caused no doubt by the ex-
ceptionaIly cloudy and foggy weather
this fall. 1t is fact there has been
few days when lights were not
needed in most of the stores except
a few hours in the middlle of the day
1t has already been demonstrated
that several of the court house Of
fdces are too dark to work. in during
winter days without Artificial light.
This is especially true of the clerks
and sheriff's offices. The matter has
been brought to the attention of the
county court.
The company now furnishing elec-
trio light has so far refused to i'm
staM day current, and this fact is
causing those who see THE great need
of it to look elsewhere for relief.
1t is stated THAT the Joseph Electric
company is using only oale-third Of
its power and wants to come to this
city with its lines. 1t already has o
fran chise from the county court over
the roads ito Enterprise city limits,
and a number of farmers along the
route want the current not only for
lighting but for power purposes also.
1t is stated THAT the Joseph COM
pany has Offered ito sell the local
company current at Wholesale rates
to make up amy deficiency that
might ensue If the lines and useful
ness of the local system We're ex-
tended, day current given and also

cold snaps of winter.
If any such arrangement could be
effected to the mutual interest OF
all parties concerned, including the
customers present and prospective
of such an improved and enlarged SCI
vice, THAT would probably be the
best way out of the difficulty.
The majority of the business men
talked to ON the subject, while I'm
pctient for the enlarged seryice, say
they would prefer only one system
in town. A few are outspoken for
enlarged service, especially day cur
rent, get it how we may. There Is
some talk of a municipal plant.
The most urgent need of day
current right now is for lighting plir-
poses, but it would prove a big boon
for power also, and number OF mot
