AT ELECTRIC PLANT
Increase Capacity and In
sure Continuous
Service.

The improvements being made at the
city electric plant are now nearing
completion and the new machinery, it
is expected. will be in operation by the
first of December
The new boiler has been set up and
the condenser. turbine and generator
are being installed as rapidly as pos
sible. The new equipment will practi-
cally triple the capacity at the plant
and will insure to consumers a con-
tinuity of service in case of an emer-
gency.
Work on the new water reservoir has
been delayed because Of the shortage
of cement, but it is hoped this may be
before long The reservoir
will have capacity Of approximately
100000 gallons and will be used pri-
marily for cooling purposes, although
in case of fire emergency it will serve
as reserve water supply.

ELKS OF INDIANA TO
Aid SALVATION ARMY
Letter Urging Cooperation in.
1920 Home Service Appeal.
WORK STRONGLY ENDORSED

The entire organization of Elks in
Indiana, including every lodge and
every member, is being mobiliZed to
support the Salvation Army in the
coming appeal for funds for service
to humanity, May 10 to 20.
Hearing of the 1920 Home Service
appeal for $10,00O,OOO to be conduct
ed by the Salvation Army, beginning
week from Monday, Frank l.. Rain,
grand exalted ruler of the Elks' lodge,
has issued letter to each of the 1897
Elks lodges in the country, urging
them to merit their title Big Brother
to the Salvation Army"
Mr.. Rains letter to his fellow Elks
states in part:
The story of how our order,
throughout the length and breadth OF
this country. and especially in the
larger cities, assisted the Salvation
Army in meeting the emergencies OF
welfare work in the war is well
known to most of the members Of
the order. II is history of sacrifi-
cial services on the part OF one great
organization. which had confidence in
the motives and efficiency of another
great organization, and 1t all consti-
tutes a record of achievement and
gallant unselfshness which will for
ever live in the hearts OF those whom
it was our privilege to assist.
The Salvation Army, for certain
economic reasons which had to do
with saving the time of the relief
workers SO that they might devote
themselves to rescue work, an
nounced a year ago that instead Of
constantly soliciting aims with which
to sustain itself, 1t would make one
appeal each year. The last appeal
was made In. May, 1919, the next ap-
| peal, which will be one for mainten-
ance and natural extensions for one
year, and further effort on the part
of the Salvation Army to serve suf-
fering humanity more successfully,
will take place between May 10 and
May 20, 1920.
/ "a O-~-
vation Army is one that we are par
ticularly interested in as an order,
namely, the lending of helping hand
to the weak and needy, and because
the work of the Salvation Army is OF
such a serious character and the bud
get calls for such large expenditure
of funds this year, l feel constrained
to ask you as members of the order
and as subordinate lodges thereof, to
again assist the Salvation Army in
every way possible IL its forthcoming
| appeal for funds"
Action on the part OF every lodge is
expected to follow Immediately upon
| receipt of the letter-Indiana Elks in
the larger cities have already taken
W the matter and have voted their
unqualified support. according to
word received at the Office of Major
