Municipal Light and Power
Plant to Furnish 'Juice"
To Entire Rural
Community.
LINES EVERYWHERE
New Boiler and Turbine Will
Double Present Plant
Capacity.

1
plant will soon be furnishing lights and
power to the entire rural community
within radius of fifteen miles of this
'city. Already five rural electric lines
towering seventy-five miles of territory,
have been contracted for, and two OF
these lines are now under construction
City Manager Long, under whose SUI
pervision the new lines are being in
stalled. believes that the providing of
electricity to the rural residents Of sur
rounding territory will insure new
bonds of comman welfare between city
and country jewellers, cOOrdinating the
interests of both and resulting in great
advantages to each. The proposed
lines extend in every direction with
this city as the hub.
Take on StanhOpe.
The town Of Stanhope is within the
radius of the new electric system and
the residents of that place are expected
to vote to install the lighting system
there, making the third community to
receive electric service from Webster
City.
Mileage Big.
The new circuits will have the fol-
lowing routings and mileage:
l.. N. Mason line, east of the city,
five miles.
National Retarder plant line, run
ming east to StOnega, thence north
about eight miles, eighteen miles.
Brewer school line, running south
east of town toward Kamrar, fourteen
miles.
Willard lane line, running south to
StanhOpe, fourteen miles. With the ex-
pected connection with the town, the
line will probably serve between TWEEN
ty-five and thirty miles Of territory. =
Line running west of Catholic GENE,
terry, three and half miles.
Line south of Catholic cemetery to-
wards Bells mill, takes in all the terri
tory in that vicinity and will be about
seventeen miles long.
To Add Turbine.
To take care of the additional bust
ness, the local plant is to be equipped
with new boiler and turbine. The
present capacity of 500 kilowatts will
be increased to LIPS kilOwatts, which
will carry, in case of necessity, an Ov-
erload Of fifty per cent. City Manager
Long is at the present time calling for
bids on the equipment.
P The proposed new boiler will have a
capacity of $50 horse power and the
turbine which will be purchased later
will be of 500 horsepower. This ma
chinery exactly doubles the present ca
pacity Of the plant.

PABLO VERDE VALLEY
RAILROAD WILL RUN
SOON TONEW TOWN

Contracts for material have been let
and work will speedily be in progress
on the extension of the California
Southern railroad from Blythe, in the
Palo Verde valley, to a point nine
miles south.
The extension will give the valley
a new town, which will be called
Ripley, after E. P. Ripley, president
of the Santa Fe system.
Both improvements are needed by
the valley. The upper third of the
Palo Verde valley was given an enor-
nous impetus of development when
the railroad was first constructed from
Santa Fe Parker CUTOFF to Blythe
in 1914-15. Canal extensions ana
farm development already extend far
south of the proposed terminus, and
the new town win not only be a bene-

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Money was
the pivot around which this weeks
stock market revolved, sometimes with
furious rapidity. Important industrial
and political events were forgotten or
ignored in progressive financial de-
velopments which pointed to world
Tightening of credits. The advance in
discounts by the federal reserve banks
was accompanied by the intimidation
against the excessive use of capital
for speculative purposes. This was
followed by the virtual depletion of
time money, higher rates for bank &C
ceptances and an advance. the first
since early in 1917, of the Bank of
England rate.
These several episodes were suffi-
cient to effect a sharp revision of
speculative estimates, but the recess
sion gathered fresh momentum when
local banks began to curtail loans
Call money several times opened at u
per cent, the highest initial rate Of the
year. and twice mounted to the years
maximum Of 20 per cent. Selling nat
urally centered in steel equipments,
motors and oils, rails most of the time
displaying conspicuous strength.
Extreme reactions of ) to 20 points
in the more volatile shares were par
TALLY retrieved, but fresh selling de-
veloped at the week end of the more
acute labor situation, the market clos
ing with a weak and disorganized tone
In well informed banking circles, the
opinion prevailed that money would
show little If any relaxation until the
turn of the year.
Divers features of the international
financial situation were presented by
further weakness in foreign exchange
and the successful flotation Of the
British and French municipal loans.
