POWER PLANT
POWER PLANT IS TOO
SMALL TO MEET DEMAND
FOR CURRENT.

Fairmont and the country surround
ing it are growing. The growth is
greater and much faster than our
people realize. When the Falrmont
and clarksburg Traction Company er-
ccted Its power plant at Jayenne It
installed a plant that the officials OF
the company thought would meet the
requirements for power for many
years. at that time the Traction COM
pany was anxious to make contracts
with all OF the coal companies in this
section 10 furnish them with electrici-
ty. The demands on the plant are now
too great for the present power genera
torh. The growth has been more rapid
than anticipated by those that could
look .farthest into the dim vista OF the
future. A greater power plant is re,
quired and the company is now putt.

Ing erected and two one.thousand
kilowat generators arc being installed.
At present the power is supplied by a
two one thousand kilowat generators
and two five hundred kllowat genera.
tors. 1t is seen that the addition that
that the Traction company is making
to its plant Is two thirds as great as
tho original plant. When the addition.
al generators are installed the plant

the years to come.
Some time ago the Traction com.
pany put all of its consumers of cur.
rent on the meter system. The officials
at that time said that 1t was done TO
increase the revenue of the company
but to conserve the current SO that the
company could in n satisfactory man.

even with this the demands for electri
city have become so great that it is

patronized these hot afternoons and
evenings. No matter how hot II Is

on the river that is delightful and
many take advantage of the opportun.
ity afforded by the small boats to get
away from the heat of the city. The

a rapid rate in launch. Some prefer
the row boats because of the health.

 1t is expected that the work will he begun about the first of August. and finished about the first of October.
 The cost of this work will be con siderable. and Rev Mabley is asking an offering from the yestrymem. churchmen and churchwomen, to de- fray the expense. There is also other work which is badly needed and greatly to be desired, on the main body of the church. It should be painted and some other improvements made, and this will increase the cost to perhaps thousand dollars or more. The Times believes that members of this church have always been liberal in their donations to other church en- terprises, and have asked very little or no assistance from them But we do not approve of this. We think that every citizen who is able should be whatever he or she may wish to fund for the purposes outlined above. and we believe that many members Of other congregations will cheerfully dsslsu the congregation or the Church of the Good Shepherd in accompish- ing the desired improvements. We think it the plain duty of every good citizen, no matter what his religious affiliations may be, to contribute and help to build up the church property of every other chnrch as well as his own.
 We suggest In all sincerity that a liberal offering be asked from all citi- zens who are able. and that the pro- posed plans be enlarged upon and made 10 include every other improve ment needed To make this church ed.- ice one of the most beautiful in Eastern Arkansas.
