HEADS OFF DANGER
OF L|GHTLESS CITY

Apprehensions concerning the perils
of lightless city were considerably
allayed yesterday when superintendent
Trafford, of the electrical department,
was notified by Contractor F. ]. white
that work OF constructing walls for
the annex to the city electric plant
would be completed by Saturday night.
Due largely to his inability to secure
material. Contractor white has been
handicapped considerably in the con-
struction of the new building. The
outer walls are not above the high
water mark of the river. and super
intendent Trafford has been extremely
nervous over the thought that sud
den rise in the river might at any
minute cause waters to rush through
the openings into the plant. thereby
putting the machinery out of commits
sion ard plunging the city into total
darkness.
Contractor White. yesterday, how
erev. announced thst he had sue
ceeded in getting some material which
the eagle eye of she government. had
not seen, and he promised that a large
force of workmen would be placed at
work rushing things. with the expec-
tation Of having the walls above any
