In an effort to overcome the inter-
ruptions OF electrical service in this
city and hereby towns supplied by the
local plant OF the Iowa Railway and
Light Company, a gang of wiremen
began today to string wire from Wells
burg to Morrison, in Grundy county.
TO connect with the circuit out of this
city. The local plant has a high ten
sion line into Morrison. The distance
between Wellsburg and Morrison is
about fifteen miles and the connection
will be made in ten days or two weeks.
The Iowa Falls Electric Company
which is a BOWS, Smith and Reed
| property, has a high tension line into
Wellsburg and had erected poles be-
fore the war broke out for an extern
sion to Morrison to connect with the
| circuit out of this city. The war stop
ped the work because the wire could
not be procured.
Will Furnish 500 X. w.
The Iowa Falls Electric Company's
plant has a surplus of 400 to 500 k. W.
which will be supplied over this con-
nection and will be sufficient to sup
ply the towns served by the local
plant, other than this city. This con-
nection will leave the local plant 10
carry only the city load. In addition
some help will be obtained from the
plants at Tama. Belle PLANE, Maren-
90 and Nava1o oil nT uuh 81,
connected with the local circuit.
Work on extending the high tension
line from Blairstown TO Cedar Rapids,
to connect the local plant with the
Cedar Rapids power house of the COM
pany, is being finished. This extension
will require two months longer to COM
plete as the poles must be set the en-
tire distance.
Repairing Local Machinery.
By working shifts twenty-four hours
Saturday and Sunday one OF the two
boilers in the local plant that went
down Saturday forenoon, was put
back IN service Sunday and the fourth.

by Wednesday. BY that time. also, the
steam condenser, very important I'M
1t Of the equipment, which has been
under repairs for some time. will be
completed and back in service.
Altho the electric capacity OF the
plant was increased today over Sun
day another accident Saturday after
noon has again interrupted street car
service. This latest misfortune was
the short eircuitnng Of the generator
operating the street car system. Sun
day the car service was kept UP with
auxiliary machinery but today. with
heavier load to carry, 1t was necessary
TO interrupt this service and the resi-
dence lighting circuits at difference
