LET THERE BE LIGHT-AND
THERE IS LIGHT.

During the past week or more the
streets of Paris have been what may
be best described as dark, darker,
darkest, due to a break in the ma
chinery at the plant of the Paris
Gas & Electric Co. A piston rod on
the big engine operating the ma
chinery broke, throwing the plant
out of commission, the result being
the almost complete cessation of
the street arc lighting system.
j. P. Pope. manager of the Lex
ington Utilities Co., came to Paris,
Tuesday, and had a conference with
Mayor January and officials of the
Electric Light Co., at which an
agreement was reached and ar
engagements made for supplying
Paris with current from the Lex
ington power house until the proper
repairs could be made at the local
plant. The streets are now lighted
as usual.
