HOWARD HAS UNIQUE
LIGHTING PLANT

The town of Howard, Sal!da's next
door neighbor on the east, has the
distinction of an independent cleo
trio lighting plant. Several families
have united and have installed
small gasoline power plant which
provides about 200 25-candle POWER
lights. The gasoline engine manusac-
lures the current which is stored in
a battery and used as required.
When the juice runs out, the engine
is again brought into commission.
Such plants are not uncommon in
localities in the east where farmers
and others in isolated localities de-
sire the convenience of electric light
and power.-Salida Record.
