An ordinance very similar to this was passed by the council shortly before the present council took office. The latter at its first meeting repealed this provision and passed an ordinance providing for the management of the plants by a council committee, to be appointed by the mayor. It is understood that the new ordinance will be passed at the next meeting of the council.

COUNCIL VISITS
 ELECTRIC PLANT
NEW MACHINERY SEEN
ORDINANCE INTRODUCED TO RESTORE FORMER PLAN OF
 MANAGEMENT.

Following a short session of the Conway city council last night. the members accepted an invitation of Supt. E. V. Leverett and paid visit to the municipal electric light and power plant for the purpose of in- spectlng the new machinery installed and improvements made at the plant during the past few months. The great change for the better in the ap- pearance and equipment of the plant was a revelation to some of the coun cilmen who had not seen the plant recently. About $10,O0O has been ex pended in adding new high h-pressurc boiler and a 300 horsepower direct connected Corliss engine and gener. ator. which gives the system three complete power units, two of which each have a capacity of more than double the present maximum load car ried and the smaller unit being availa ble for the small load carried during the hours after midnight, when little current is being consumed Perhaps the most striking improvement appar- ent to the visitor is the improved ap- pearance of the interior of the plant. Concrete floors have been laid throughout the power room and all the wires are carried in conduits un- der the floor, so that none are expos ed. The whole plant has been cleaned up and presents a wonderfully inn proved appearance. Supt. Leverett was congratulated by the council on the work done recently, which proba- bly, enables Conway to claim the larg- est and most efficient electric plant in town of this size in the state.
 At the regular session of the coun- cil an ordinance was introduced to re- store the plan adopted by the preced- ing council for the management of the water and light system by a commis-

denying the application. The case was
argued by Attorney George Arthur

An appeal has been taken in Hansel's

the will was entitled to probate, and in

him to support her. The case was re-
