Co. The rates and conditions, how

This city will sell current at the

Nelson Light & Power Co., an organ

furnishing current to the people of

in Alexandria to Nelson and then
west to within a few miles of Carlos
connecting up about fifteen farms.
Carlos has an electric light plant and
is not position to take in the new
line at present.-Alexandria Citizen
