during the night destroyed the big
city electric plant from which Roches-
ter derives it's supply OF current for
light and power This leaves the city
in frightful industrial dilemma. The
loss Is about $4,000. hut that Is a
small matter when compared with the
tying up Of Industries and business
houses in all parts of the city. st.
Mary's hospital and other business in
stllutions are well-nigh paralyzed.
But One plant Near.
There is but one power plant within
reach In operation. and that Is one
that Is used mostly for X-ray investi-
cations. However. that plant Is too
small to do anything worth consider
ing In the matter Of supplying the de-
ficiency. The nearest power plants
that are at all adequate 10 the sitiia-
tion are those at Zumbrota and VIM
nna, and Il will take two weeks to
string the light wires from either of
these places. I'm the mean time the
people will be obliged to go back to
tho primitive methods of lighting
their houses with candles and with
kerosene lamps.
Newspapers Are Crippled.
Newspapers cannot issue their daily
sheets as usual. but Is Is probable that
somc arrangements will be made to
get out some news for the subscribers
by the use of small hand and foot
presses. II will take six months to
rebuild and rc-cquip the city lighting
plant.
