SHIFTS BLAME
FOR FAILURE TO
SUPPLY POWER
Northern Utilities Company Seeks
To Involve Edwards River Pow
er Company in Litigation

An answer to the joint protest
in petition form submitted to the
state public utilities commission
by the city officials and prominent
| citizens of AleGo, JOY, Reithsburg,
Woodruff and Viola deploring light
and power service as rendered by
the Illinois Northern Utilities com
pany and asking that remedial
steps be taken, has been submit
ted to the state commission and to
the officials of the cities in protest
by the Utilities company.
The company sets out in its an
swer that it is operating in the
cities in question under city or
dinances which permits it to rem
der service from a plant furnish
ing alternating current.
In Aledo there is an Injunction
restraining the Utilities company
from operating under alternating
current. This Injunction was up
held, however, when the ordinance
under which the company operated
here until several months ago, was
passed by the city council. The
ordinance grants the company the
right TO furnish light and power,
regardless of alternating current
providing the rates as stipulated
in the ordinance were in force.
Injunction Now In Force!
Only recently, however, the IT'LL
tiles company petitiOned the state
commission for an increase in
rates, the petition in some in
stances being granted. City Attor-
ney Robedt L. Watson contends
that the new rates inyalidate the
ordinance under terms of which
the company heretofore operated
and that, in consequence the in
JUNCTION obtained against the com
pany restraining the use of alter
mating current is in force
hi its answer the Northern Illi-
nois company sets out that the
fault lies with the Edwards river
power plant. An attempt is made
to make the power company a
party to the action brought by the
five cities.
There will be no passing the
buck" declared City Attorney Rob
are dealing with the Northern IlIi-
nois Utilities company only. That
is the company under contract
with us 10 furnish continuous light
and power service. That the con-
tract has not been lived up to is adj
mitted in its answer. but an at
tempt is made to involve US in liti-
cation with the Edwards River
Power company. We have no quar-
rel with the Edwards River con-
Germ. 1t is immaterial to us where
the Illinois Northern company
gets its power.
What concerns and vitality in
terests us is the service We get
fro mthe the Illinois Northern IT'LL
tiles company We have no con-
tract with the Edwards River Pow
er plant, nor do We acknowledge its
existence in the protest forwarded
to the state commission. But we
have a contract for uninterrupted
light and power service with the
Northern Utilities COMPANY"
Hearing Oct. s.
A hearing has. been set for Oct.
S. Wednesday, before the public
utilities body at Springfield, at
which representatives of the North
ern Utilities company and city Of
fcials will be heard. Mr.. Watson
expects to be present, together
with officials fthe four cities join
ing with Aledo in the protest |
There is a possibility that Mayor
c. A. Beers will accompany the city !

THATCHER DIVIDED INTO
 TWO WARES BY CHURCH

SAFFORD, Ariz., Nov. 21.-At a meeting of the members of the Thatcher ward of the St. Joseph Stake, it was decided unanimously that the Thatcher ward be divided by Depot street from mountain to river. The reason for the division was the size of the ward, it being one of the very largest wards in the church and, entirely too large for one bishop to properly take care of
 There are about 1900 people in the ward, which will leave about 600 to each ward.
 The board of education of the Gila academy granted the use of the aca- demy rooms to the Thatcher west ward until they will be able to build. The Thatcher east ward will occupy the Thatcher meeting house
