COLD WAVE SENDS
 TEMPERATURE 10 7
COLDfST IN FOUR YEARS
THE HEAVY- SNOWFALL INTER. RUPTS ELECTRIC LIGHT
 AND POWER SERVICE,

Saturdays snowfall here was fol- lowed yesterday by cold wave which sent the temperature down to the low est point recorded at Conway in four years. Seven degrees above was the offclal reading of the Prof. G. H. Burr government thermometer this morning, and probably establishes a record minimum for middle December. Many water pipes and fixtures were frozen and plumbers were kept busy answering numerous calls throughout today.
 l After remaining practically station ary at the freezing point for nearly "A hours, the thermometer began fall Ing rapidly shortly before noon yes terday and by 10 o'clock last night had dropped to Is degrees above zero. The cold is expected to continue to- night, but will moderate tomorrow, the weather bureau predicts.
 The heavy snow which occurred Saturday afternoon caused a great deal of trouble for the municipal cleo tric light and power plant. Wires and poles at various points in the city broke down under the enormous weight of snow and ice and most of the street lights were out of commits sion both Saturday and Sunday nights. Several residences were with out electric current Saturday night, but the plant was shut down yester- day and force of linemen restored service to practically every consumer during the day.
 The rebuilding of their telephone system here a little more than a year ago gave the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company an immense 1 advantage over the elements during the snowstorm. Had the old "open wire" system still been in use, it is probable that thousands of wires would have been broken and the ser vice completely demoralized. Prac- tically all the lines are now carried in cables, however, and there was no interruption in telephone service on account of the storm.
 The blanket of snow will prove great benefit to winter wheat, oats and other grain, unusually large quan- titles of which have been planted in this county during the fall. The snow will prevent the ground from freezing around the roots of the grain, as would have been the case if the ground were uncovered.

CAN'T RUN OIL
 MILL TILL FALL

It has been definitely decided by the Conway Cotton Oil and Gin Company that no attempt will be made to re- sume operations at the oil mill until next fail. It will require so much time to replace the machinery which was destroyed in the fire of December 5 that it was found impracticable to attempt to run the plant again this winter. None of the losses, have as yet been adjusted, as the insurance companies have 60 days in which to settle, nothing can be done towards rebuilding the plant until the amount of damage is agreed upon.
 The oil mill usually runs from about October 1 to about April 15, and the enforced shutdown will throw about 30 men out of employment for three months. The mill, however, will continue to buy cottonseed and

NEXT SEWER TAX

Citizens who go to pay their taxes next year will doubtless be pleased to learn that the assessments in Sewer District No. of Conway, which en- braces the real estate in practically the entire city, will be considerably lower than it was last year. The as- sessment book is now being made up for Collector w. W. Bishop and the taxes will be payable at the same time as regular county and state taxes are paid. For the next installment of the sewer assessment levy of only ? 7-10 of the total assessment will be col lected, as compared with 4 per cent last year, reduction of about one third.
