God Said "Let There Be
Light And There Was Light
WATER VALLEY light The city needs light but the
city can't afford burn furnish current to supply the
light
The city has the facilities supply current possible
for city many times larger than Water Valley
The city has force of high employees at the plant who
draw there monthly stipend whether they have
not 1t necessary to keep fire the boiler furnaces prac
cay all the tme-sl they couldn't add just little coal
1--WE have all heard about that coa the fires and supply
day current and pick up revenue for the city,
During the past few weeks the council has sat up and
taken notice of few things They actually the
for the picture show matnees for wonder why?
AS stated in former article the council promulgated
order declaring that the city would furnish day
subsequent to that date That order of all
electrical motor in the city, The management the
plant has fatty refused supply for since
that date day service mean when the have
meters and offer the cys demands for the service
But for unknown and unexplained city has
continued furnish day for various people divers
times including people who have flat for
night service only Why this is done is than
e and and would like have the officials make some explain
for giving the payers money while
they refus the current to patrons willing pay for
The cutting out the day current has not been
only far the councmen and deem
sary They have been giving daylight occasionally
on some cloudy days while other dark days the lights have
been that the management has sort OF
barometer the needs of the citizens and dishes out
daylight accordingly The HERALD has been unable to locate
this fountain head of light but others it seems more ortu
nate and get light when wanted.
Just show the silly and foolish way the lights being
managed present, call attention to the following
episode occurred recently owt Mr. John Newberry is
proprietor of mighty nice pool hall and cloudy day
Gently his patrons needed light playing The boys
ol;ohtc do
the current off One of the boys suggested to John
to call up the power house. tell them that he Ed Chsp
and order the lights and they he boys believed the
rent would be turned Now John accommodating chap
and he gave the suggestion trial. John stepped the phone
called up No. he power house) and the following went
hot the wire:
"Hellor' Ans. 'Hello!"
rs this the power house?" Ans Yes
.This is Ed Chrisp and to- know why in thunder
the lights are pot The people just raising the
very devLsbout and Iwant them turned Immediately
Ans >oYes SIR
)ssAnd want them all day too" Ans. eyes Sir.
This happened during the forenoon and the lights were
] turned on at once and kept on ALL THAT DAY.
Mr. Newberrys customers didn't experience any trouble
in being able the balls the balance Of that day.
We understand officials claim it does not pay furnish
the day current We ask the gentlemen to comply with the
law and come across with the financial statement show
CENTS disbursements and substantate their claim with
something more tangible and convincing that talk
The city, the convenience Of the city the
camille interest Of the city and nearly all the citizens demand
and ask for this day service then why under Heavens can't we
have for obstinate refusal or
give the city the lights The plant belongs to the city Mr. Off
a their money pays the give the tax payer some
thing ii return for his money
