DELAWARE CITY
BACK TO THE OIL
LAMP NIGHTS

Save for the flicker Of few oil
lamps Delaware City was in total
darkness last night due 10 the burn
ing of the city power plant on Friday.
SO far no arrangements have been
made for lighting the town and it
probably will have 10 use oil lamps
and candles until the power plant can
be rebuilt, which will take cOnsidera-
Bile time. Power could have been sup
piled from the New Castle lighting
plant had not the wires been taken
down along the New Castle and Della
ware trolley line which is now being
operated by storage battery cars. OF
course overhead wire could be put up
between the two towns but this would
take several days and would be very
expensive
Those Who had lanterns made use
of them ia going about the town after
dark last night The Government re-
servation was greatly Inconvenience
but managed 10 have a few electric
lights as the power plant which IS
used 10 operate the big guns was
quickly connected with the system
and lights supplied TO those places
where it was absolutely necessary.
