5000 HORSE POWER
CAN De DEVELOPED
WHAT IT WILL MEAN TO ARD
MORE TO HARNESS WASHITA-
ELECTION TO BE CALLED

J. W. MaNcy of Houston. Texas.
was in the city yesterday. lie says
HE report on the proposed munici-
pal electric power plant of the Wash
ita river will be ready for the com
missioncrs within ten days. He will
report on four sites aud the commits
siouers can select from among the
four sites the one they desire to
develop. The larger plant will cost
about $500. O.00O-this cost will include
the wires to convey the power into
the city and distribute wires over
the city. MIR. MaXcy says his fix
urcs will show that the interest and
sinking funds on the bonds can be
charged to operating expenses and
paid from the operation of the plant.
and that the people of Ardmorc can
have lights and power at one-half
o. current prices charged everywhere
for electricity. Should these figures
be- correct the plant will not only
give the people lights, and give
plants power at one half what they
Eay now. but will result In the re-.
duction of taxes to some extent. The
question is an important one that
the people will be called upon to
settle in bond election and it be
comes the duty OF every citizen to
make a fair and unprejudiced study
of the matter The voting of so many
bonds is by no means trifling
question and at the same time the
harnessng of the Washita means a
vast deal to the city.
Mr.. MaXcy says his report will
show at least one site where six
thousand horse power can be gen.
Grated at the time when the river
is lowest. This will give the city
electricity to light the streets as
light as day almost and to furnish
the traction company and all the
plants coming here for many years
