pointed a committee to take up with
the Chamber two important things:
First: Increasing OF the Edison
plants capacity to meet future indus

second: A conference with Off
Gals of the Edison company to ascer-
tain whether the company's power
plant ut seventh and Van Buren,
streets could not be removed from the
business district, possibl to the in
dustrial district along the rivex front.
The committee, in taking the latter
action, emphasized that there was no
disposition to complain against or crit
icise the present location of the power
plant. but merely a dea;re to find out
if removal of the plant would be feas-
'iblc.

be displayed every week, according to
the present plan.
The Edison company now has i'm
provements under way that will cost
approximately 100000 when COM

large the capacity of the plant at Sew
