key to Columbia's futur- progress and
growth. The service FOR the Colum-

how much more so is it for the Col
umbia OF tomorrow. No two years

growth and material, permanent
progress to compare with that OF 1903

even greater advance. But this
growth cannot be properly met in the
matter of water and light service un-
der existing conditions.
No better argument for a new mu-
nicipal water and light plant is pos
sible than the report of the experts.
who examined the present plant some
months ago. That report should be
intelligently and impartially studied
by every citizen of Columbia between
now and election day. The man VINO
SO studies this report will be an ad
vocate of a new system, and will vote
