Some more expert" work leaked
out on the electric plant when A. j.
Velat located two leaks in the main
cable furnishing juice to the lamps
on Main street. So far he had to
take down every single lamp on Main
street and make proper insulation.

not. luckily, receive it's full pay and
most surely will not until things are
made right.

1t appears that the successful rev.
olution in Russia was little prema-
ture. The masses of Russian people
received more liberty suddenly than
they were accustomed to and we may
expect chaos and disorder from now
