WORK Al THE POWER PLANT
Concrete Building Nearing Compile
tior-One Reservoir Finished and
Other Well Under Way.

A trip out to the power plant site,
north OF the ice factory. Is well worth
the trouble. Work is going on there
in dead earnest and splendid progress
is being made. Special efforts are
being made to have the plant ready
for operation so that the municipal
water and light service may be in
augurated August l.
The walls OF the concrete building
have been completed and the form is
up and the fourth is being rapidly
filed. AS soon as it Is finished only
the roof will remain.
The foundations are. being put in
this week for the heavy machinery
and in just few days the work of
installing the engines and other ma
chinery will begin.
One of the big concrete reservoirs
has been completed and work is well
advanced on the other. They are i'm
mense receptacles and when once
filed there will be little danger of a
water famine
Bryan is going to have fine plant
and if the water supply from the three
city wells comes up to expectations,

RIGID COUNT IN JERSEY
Graveyard Vote Eliminated by
the Geran Act.

Voting in New Jersey yesterday was
under the new Geran law and few COM
plants were heard, except, perhaps, be-
cause Of the slowness OF the count, which
has always been the case in New Jersey
The polls remain open in New Jersey from
o'clock in the morning until o'clock at
night
Under the Geran law the voter living IN
municipality with a population Of more
than 5000 had to register personally and
answer questions similar to those asked in
New York City. The ballot was similar 10
that used in Massachusetts, except that IT
had numbered stub.
The personal registration feature of the
law had wiped out the thousands of dead
men carried on the polling lists, and the
vote yesterday was looked upon as the
honest expression of opinion. One COM
mendable feature OF the law was the do
ing away with the drunken and inefficient
election officer The civil service feature
of the law made It impossible for any but
competent election officers TO serve.
The new corrupt practices act was also
used for the first time yesterday. and re-
ports from the different counties indicate
that the use OF money on Election Day in
New Jersey seemed almost abolished. This
is a rigid law, even the carrying of voters
to the polls in vehicles being prohibited
without the consent OF the county judge,
ana then the county pays the bill
