The big 50-horsepower engine
and dynamo arrivedshere Tuesday
and will he installed i'm the electric
plant. In this connection we wish
TO impress upon everyone the fact
that if everybody in town uses
electricity, the plant will he self
supporting and the charge for the
current can than be lowered. Pre-
sent users pay 20 cents for the cur
rent, but if all use it the charge
can be lowered to Is cents, which
is cheaper than monkeying with a
kerosine lamp or gasoline. Let it
also be remembered that the Ia
Dor electric plant is municiple
plant and those people who do not
use electricity are paying for its
unkeep indirectly in taxes. There
fore, we urge all to connect with
the electric plant and we are sure
after they once try it, they will
never use kero sine lamps or gaso
line.
