much, very much, in the work of i'm

and light plants.
And while we are at it, we must
not overlook w. II. Parks and b. B.
Meng, the former is in charge of the
wiring work; he is in charge of wir-
ing in the electric department. Born
in York county, he came to Union Is
years ago. He is AZ years old, and
has been working under the commits
sioners since 1900. Mr. Meng is chief
engineer at the power mouse, and on
duty in the daytime. He is 36 years
old. He has held this position for the
past eight years and has been with
the plant ID years. Both these men
are faithful and trustworthy, as is
evinced by the length of time they
have held their positions. Both of
them have contributed in no small de-
gree to the result attained.
B. B. LemaSter, who holds the posi-
ton of night engineer at the power
house, is son of R. L. Lemaster, who
was for number of years school
commissioner for this county He has
been with the plant for the past five
years and for the past two years has
served as night engineer He is eff
clent and faithful in the discharge of
his duties.
Mr.. j. +. Norman, the efficient
bookkeeper in the electric light office,
has held the position for the past year
and half. He is courteous to the
patrons, and is always ready to &C
commodate everyone. We do not snow
a cut of him, for we are showing only
those who have served five years or
more.
Union may well feel just pride in
this public enterprise. 1t comes about
now and again that some one begins
to agitate turning the light and water
plant over to the city authorities and
of aholishing the office of commits
Siorer.
Again, it has been suggested that
the electric plant be sold to some pow
er company who, it was alleged, would
furnish lights cheaper. Such move
ments have failed in the way. Those

the water supply is copious, and that
heavy pressure may be thrown on at
any time, adds greatly to the value of
our water system.
We gladly give to the worthy men
who are carrying on this splendid
public enterprise the honor that is
due them. They are worthy of every

AID it is becoming more and more
recognized fact that town needs
small enterprises as well as large ones.
In fact, diversiication in manufacture
ing is as important as diversfication
in farming. There are many such
small enterprises that might do well
in Union. Our aim in writing this
article, along with a desire to give
praise where it IS justly due, was to
let the world know just what we have
here, and to open the way for the
"oming of other enterprises. We have
this to say to such investors: "Come,
and welcome; we have power and to
spare; we have a splendid water sup
ply. We have beautifully lighted
streets. We have city of which we
arc proud. Come here and you will
find Union a good place in which to
live" And the faithful service of
the commissioners of public works,
along with the indefatigable energy
OF the superintendent, has had much
to do with this result.
1t is the purpose of the management
to add special rate for cooking, since
there is no gas plant in the city; and
there is demand for such service.
The rates will be based upon a coSe
that will range on a par with gas.

nor to persons who neither practice nor
