IMPROVEMENTS GOING ON
Mo. Gas 6 Electric Service Pro-
viding for a Larger Lexing-
ton.

That the Missouri Gas &
Electric Service Company does
not intend to be caught nap
ing is evidenced by the inn
provements being made at the
electric light plant. Since this
company bought the gas and
electric plants at this place a
small fortune has been spent in
improving the service, and now
the company is busily engaged IN
doubling the capacity of the
electric plant. New machinery
is being installed, including a
rev 200 X. w. generator, Ball
ligh speed engine, a 25O
horse power water tube boiler,
and new 125 foot stack has
been erected. A Line has re-
Gently been completed to Aull's
mine east of town, which will
hereafter be run entirely by
electricity. This company is
now the owner of the Richmond
plant, and preparations are be-
ing made to run a line across the
river and supply Richmond, Lex
ington Junction and Hardin from
the Lexington plant. More inn
llprovements are contemplated so
as to extend their zone of use
fulness, and to aid in developing
the mining industry in this sec
tion.
Mr. Swain, the local district
manager, appears to be the right
man for the place. He knows
the business thoroughly and is
intent upon giving the patrons
of the company the best possible
service. He insists upon cour-
teous treatment to the public at
all times from every member OF
the force, and for them to supply
every reasonable request Of its
patrons.
