The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-05-21

The subject of municipal electric plant in
Fargo has received attention from the public
There has been discussion in Moorhead con-
corning the advisability of establishing a mu-
nicipal gas plant
Both of these proposals were advanced
before the new owners of the Union Light
Heat and Power Company took over the man
agement of the property. ..
We have no quarrel with people who believe
that municipal ownership is good thing. We
know that the United States is country where
the people can have just about what they want
good or bad-within the reach of human
beings
We believe in making our service 50 good
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-05-21

By midsummer if there is a firm or family in
Fargo or Moorhead who can't get gas, or a
possible electric consumer in Fargo who can't
get service it will not be the fault of the Union
Light Company.
Moorhead people will soon have the benefit
of a convenient office, in which gas stoves heat
ers and other appliances may be inspected and
ordered applications made for service, requests
for emergency attention handled and where
bills can be paid without loss of time.
We intend to convince citizens that the in
terests of the public and of our company are
identical, and that there is no good reason why
our business should not be conducted to
mutual advantage
A policy of this kind is not based on senti-
ment. 1t is part of our belief that we cannot
make a financial success of our work unless we
enjoy the good will and good esteem of the
people.
There is bound to be occasional defects in
any business involving service to SO many
people and having so many details as that of
gas and electricity When things 60 wrong
we want you to tell us as soon as possible We
shall consider the information valuable in striv-
ing to realize our ambition-the rendering of
full value for every penny paid to US for service.
We repeat our request: Give US an oppor.
tunity to show what we can do

system in Fargo and Moorhead, and the cleo
trio system in Fargo.
Necessarily all of our plans have not been
developed, owing to the short time since the
property changed hands. Here are some of
the improvements decided upon:
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-05-21

|. Doubling the capacity of the Electric
Power Station.
;. Extension of electric lines into every
populated section of Fargo.
;. Extension of gas mains to cover thor
oughly every settled up district in
Fargo and Moorhead.
|. Installation of branch gas office in
Moorhead
! General improvement of the gas and
electric service, if any possible fault
can be found

In view of the fact that the Union Light
Company is under new ownership, is it not
reasonable to give the new management
fair trial? ,~t
Certainly progressive, broadminded bust
ness organization is entitled to friendly con
slderation and fair treatment from all citizens
Concerning gas and electric service we wish
to call attention to the following facts.
In less than month we have done these
things:
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-05-21

1. Reduced the price OF

2. Reduced the price of gas.

OLD AND NEW YEAR CUSTOMS

In age most Of the holidays we keep
through the year are young as COM
pared with the new year. From the
time of the Julian reformation OF the
calendar, the old Romans kept the first
day Of January rs a holiday. dedicating
it and the whole of the following month
to Janus who opened and closed the
gates Of the year. Sacrifices were Of
fered to him on 10 affairs corresponding
to the months of the year. and people
were careful to be on their best behavior
that day that it might prove q propiti-
Gus augury for the whole year.
1t was q day Of visiting. Of family
gatherings, and of exchanging OF gifts,
and also Of the reconciling OF differ
ences between friends and relatives.
These observances in onr day are as.
ISOLATED with Christmas rather than
with New Year, but the more fully they
are observed. whether at the one season
or the other, the more blessed the result.
Among other ancient customs OF the
new year were the cutting and exchang.
ing of branches Of mistletoe by the
prnids. and the presentation of eggs by
the Persians.

NEW A GREETING

The SENTINEL wishes its read
ers a Happy and Prosperous New
Year. The past year has brought
Eureka's mineral resources into
prominence again and renewed
interest and activity in the mines
Of this district. The SENTINEL
hopes these conditions may be
continued, and that the fullest
expectations may be realized by
those who have ever had un-
bounded faith in the mineral re-
sources and richness of our mines,
and that Eureka will again reach
the zenith of her fame of the past
as a producer of wealth in the
mining world.
