Longer Electric. Service. =

The board of public works at a
meeting held Friday decided to ex-
tend the electric service of the town.
From the time the electric light plant
was installed about eight years ago
the light service has extended only
from about 5 or o'clock in the af-
ternoon until one or two o'clock in
the morning. Hereafter, commencing
May 1, the plant will be put in opera
tion at nine o'clock in the morning
and run continuously until one g.
clock the next morning, enabling
those who are now using gasolice en-
gines to install electric power IL
stead. The change will be heartily
welcomed by scores of people. 80
