A representative of the Public Service
Company was in town last week and
called at THE News office to talk over
the subject of using day current. He II
was told that we had no time to use in
this subject which had be-
come to be joke, and there had been
promise after promise as to the date
when the day current would be turned II
on. The young man said that there had
not been any one authorized to promise
the day current for any specified time
and that he would not give any positive
assurance when it could be used. He
was told that he had better wait until
there was something definite before try
ing to get people to install appliances for
electrical use. He called attention to
the fact that some men were working on
the street wires which he thought was
an indication that the current was right
on the edge of the town, but the general
feeling is that this is a case where
"watchful waiting" is the proper move
