Our town is now being lighted
each dark night by electricity.
We have eight arc lights in the
middle of the street, being of the
90 and IS candle power. The
Valley Light & Power Co., of
w oodStock, would not furnish
the power, giving as the reason
1t would overload their plant.
The Electrical Supply Co. of our
town came to the rescue and the
power is furnished by one of the
Western Electric Light engines
and generators. The lights are
placed a distance OF 1000 feet
and with this Western Electric
plant the batteries need to be
charged only once a week. The
streets are lighted until eleven
o'clock, Saturday nights until |
:welve o'clock. We have strong
md bright lights. Visitors have
been complimenting our progress
ion and the Western Electric !
