here in Union by the Union Iron Foun-
dry, concern conducted by J. Nj
Moss. Not many of our citizens are
aware of the fact that Union has such
an establishment. Yet it is fact
that the Union Iron Works is turning
out high grade work. and is equipped
to do the most complicated jobs. Nj.
Moss has had charge of this shop for
15 years. He came to Union in 1900
from Gaffney, and is a skilled iron
worker The shop is equipped to do
all kinds of brass and iron casting. |.

work, as we'll as many jobs of small
size.
The Commission of Public Works
believes in giving employment to home

contract to this Union concern. And
1T goes without saying that Unions
Commissioners of Public Works have
proven themselves wise builders. Be-
hind every successful institution there
must be some man, or group of men,
who have made the achievement pos
slble. The light and water system of

have accomplished the splendid re-
suits are men of good business judg>
ment, and of almost infinite patience.
1t is no easy job to manage the af-
fairs of any public utility without an
almost endless friction with the pub
lie, or rather, with a part of the pub
lie. The water and lights proposition
is preeminently a field for trouble
breeding. There are many reasons for
this, but chief among them may be
mentioned the following: Most peo-
pie are careless in the use of water
and lights, and are always surprised
to find that at the end of the month
the bill has climbed to considerable
size. Such people think nothing of
leaving unrepaired a leaking valve,
thus allowing water to run to waste
for weeks at a time. They really for
get to turn off lights when they are
not needed, and at the end of the
month they are surprised that the bill
mas run up to stiff figure. Then
again, most people are naturally sus-
plcious. The inspector makes his reg
ular rounds and many people, unable |
to keep the record themselves, or too |
Indifferent to doing so, are ready to
question the records turned in by the
Inspector. Then, too, it frequently hap
pens that one hears of the cheap rates
reported from other towns, reports
That If run to earth, are found to be
truth. Anyway, the public
generally is hard to please and usually
bit ungrateful, even when a public
servant has done well. We do not hes
tate to say that Unions committee

plant have done we'll. They have ac-

commission for the pact eight or ten
years, much of the credit is due. He
has been untiring in his efforts to put
the work of the commission upon a
sound basis, and to develop the best
results possible. He is deserving of
the commendation of the community
for his good work Mr.. Sartor is a
native son of Union county; he was
born on farm seven and half miles
below Union in Santuc township in the
year 1868. He has been identified
with the business and political affairs
OF Union for many years. He is at
present the chief factor in the Union
Ice and Fuel Co., a concern which
began business here in January, 1913.
And it is but the truth to say that
Union has, since the organization of
this concern, been bountifully sun
piled with ice and at lower rate
than ever before in her history. Mr.
Sartor has carried into the manage
ment of his ice and fuel business the
same good business judgment he has
manifested in his work as chairman
of the city's light and water plant.
w. S. McLure, another member of
the commission, and serving since
1904, has ably seconded the efforts of
the chairman. He is one of Unions
leading business men, a member of the
nrm OF Mcclure Mercantile Co. He is

works is to pay one-third of cost o

getting the heavy end of the load bu
they feel that the good that will b
done the town will be well worth tn
expense and on the other hand the rev
enue from business houses will be in
creased for all merchants will bright

lights are put in.
We wish all interested in our tow
and its welfare would visit the ligh
and water plants, so that they woul,
know what an asset our city really ha
in this line.
The electric plant now generate
over ten times as much power as it diC
five years ago, and operates every da,
In the year, including Sundays. Ont
reason the good service at low cost j.,
now possible lies in the fact that the
plant has beer so very greatly in
creased and the production thereby
cheapened. The cost of generating
electricity is but little more than it
was five years ago.
That the plant has been economi-
cally conducted and wisely managed
is proven by the fact that the price
of water and lights in Uni.n are
cheaper than in almost any twn in
the State. The light rate is .Oc per
k. W. hour,zan according togreater
quantit, ed in one month if the
amou more than 100 XIV. hours
is allowed until sc per k. hour is
charged when as many as 100 hours
8ye used.
The water rate, in frnn one to
fifty thousand gallons, 80 per thou
sard. and is scaled dow to where
user takes as much althree hum
dred and one thousandgai.ons per
month he gets it for elem cents per
thousand.
And the quality of thlighting fur-
nished, and the sufficie,y and purity
of the water supply e above criti-
cism. Union is well Iered and well
lighted, as any welinformed man
may know if he will " take the trou,
BILE to investigate.
One of the most aanced steps for
ward is the "WhiteFay" now being
installed on Mains Street from the
courthouse to Cheh street. The

streets to the intersection of Main and
Herndon, or, in other words, from the
Peoples Supply company's corner to
the postoffice corner. There are 10
standards to the block, five on each
side and each post is equipped with
four 60 candle power and one 100
candle power lamps. When the in
stallation is complete it will be an
easy matter to read newspaper any
where along the street. This improve
ment will help in several ways. 1t
will make us who live here feel proud
of our city. 1t will show the outsiu,
ers that we are an up-to-date people
as a business street adequately lighted
with artistic and well proportioned
standards is the best evidence of a
live, wide-awake, aggressive COM
munity. The advantages of an effec-
tive ornamental lighting system are
quickly seen by property owners and
merchants. The value of property
or business location depends on the
number of people who make use of the
adjoining street as a thoroughfare.
An up-to-date lighting system in
creases the traffic and the value of the
work so that the porperty owners
and business houses are all helping
literally and it will only be a short
time before we get in all the system.
The city is to pay third of installa-
tion, the property owners and bust
ness houses one-third cost of installa-
ton and the commissioners of public
