WATER and Light
MEETING Held


| "A largely attended meeting Of citl-
zens and tax payers was held ct the
courthouse Thursday night to consid-
er the question OF securing permanent
water and light service for the city.
As is generally known. since the fall
ure OF the old Pascagoula Street Rail.
way & Power Company, the city has
been renting the wires Of the old com.
pany from Mr.. Ford and securing cur
rent for the lights from the Interna.
tional Shipbuilding Company. The
water mains have also been rented
from Mr.. Ford, the city doing it, own
pumping. Due to high voltage. Leak
ages. etc., there has been loss to the
city of more than $4,000 on light sArv-
ice in the four months that the city
has operated under this arrangement,
despite the fact that the city 10 charg-
ing much higher rate than the old
company. This after giving due credit
for sreet lighting. etc. On the water
a profit of about $1,000 is shiwn. Net
loss on the light and water service II
about $4,000 for the period mentioned.
The above statement was made -

ers, who called the people together that
they might be fully informed in the
matter and indicate their wishes for
the future.
It was the sense OF the meeting that
the city could no longer operate the
service at loss and that rates be In
creased to balance the expense. It was
stated that new transformers could
be purchased for about 1920, which
would reduce the voltage and effect q
great saving in current as well as the
loss in light globes to the individual
light users. The city being without
legal power to provide funds for the
purchase, it was decided to raise same
by private subscription from light and
power users, who will be the benenck
aries. More than $500 was subscribed
at the meeting and committee COM
posed of Messrs. J. Higginbotham,
George Granlund and Whit Walker
appointed to secure the balance.
The matter of plans for permanent
water and light service, together with
the continuance Of the temporary ar
rangement. was placed in the hands Of
committee Of twelve, composed Of
Messrss Ed. Janet l. r.. Cox, NJ W.
Alley, John Nelson, r. A. Bowers. q.
B. Martin, H. B. Everitt, F. L Clinton,
Geo. j. Granlund, w. M. Canty, DR..
J. A. Tabor and L. F. Kramer. who will
advise with the city council and report
to meeting to be called later.
City Attorney Everitt explained the
manner in which the city could raise
money for municipal plant by calling
an election to raise the bonding limit
of the city above the statutory limit of
10 per cent, or by the organization Of
holding company, to subscribe the
money and turn the plant over to the
city for operation, under contract to
purchase later. There is also the pos
sibility that Mr.. A. B. Paterson might
again become interested in fran
chisc.
Mr.. Ford was present and stated his
desire to cooperate with the citizens
in any manner possible.

TO THE pusL,c.

Some weeks ago the Continental Tire
& Rubber Company made the people
of Pascagoula and vicinity proposi-
tion to establish tire factory at Pas
cagoula privided certain local inter-
est was obtained. Negotiations cul-
minated in the execution of contract
between the undersigned acting as a
committee to represent PascagOula,
Moss Point and vicinity and the Conti-
mental Tire & Rubber Company, where
by 1t was provided that this vicinity
would raise $57,O0O.00 in stock sub
scriptions il the Continental Tire &
Rubber Company would provide like
amount. Citizens of this vicinity have
subscribed more than $4,000 in stock
and about $500 has been paid in cash
to J. J. Mcintosh as trustee on ac-
count of said stock subscriptions.
Recently the Continental Tire &
Rubber Company have concluded to To-
cate its plant between Dees Crossing
north of and ON the l.. & N. Railroad
Company and the city limits of Pasca-
goula, and have otherwise changed the
original proposition. The committee
believes that its duty to the public re-
quires that this alteration In the origi-
nal proposition should be brought to
the attention of the public SO that
those persons who have subscribed
stock on the original proposition may
elect for themselves whether they will
continue as stockholders.
Notice is hereby given that sa,y
person who has subscribed stock on
the faith of the proposition as original
ly made has the right to withdraw his
subscription and reclaim any cash
that he has paid on account of such
stock subscription, by application to
J. J. Mcintosh, trustee, and surrender
of official receipt.
Mr.. Mcintosh intact for the account
OF the respective subscribers until Feb
ruary 1st, 1920. With the giving of
the foregoing notice it is considered
that the committee as now constituted
has no further functions to perform and
was therefore dissolved on this date.
Further matters touching the organ
ization and operation of the company
being left to it's officers
The committee has no criticizm to
make on the change in the location of
the plant, and therefore invites all
former subscribers to remain with the
company in order that Jackson coun-
ty may get this enterprise, provided
they approve the proposition as now
made, details OF which may be obtain
ed of J. J. Mcintosh or l.. NJ Shepard
son.
