CAN GET THE JUICE.
Power Company Glad to Supply Elec-
tricity to Vernon Residents.

Editor of The Reformer:-
Dear Sir: / note in your issue of
yesterday an open letter to me from
Mr. j. A. Beers of South Vernon, say
ing that there are over 20 residents
there that want electricity for light and
power and cannot get it. The Connec-
ticut River Power company never
heard of this. There has been no APP
.plication made to our company for any
such service. We have supplied every
demand made upon us at Vernon. The
local people at Vernon got up dis
tributing company of their own several
years ago and have been furnishing
electricity at a low rate and so far
as we have known they have supplied
the demands III that town. If they do
not, those who desire electrical energy
can produce it just as cheap and on
Just as favorable terms from us as do
the present Vernon users. 1t is not
only our duty to furnish electricity
when required, but we are glad to do
$50, for that is our business If MIR.
Beers and those interested with him
will apply to our company they may
have just as good a show as anybody
else in Vernon and may get electricity
at rate of which they win not com
plain.
Very truly yours,
