Contracts have been closed whereby the Alabama Power Company takes over the Wade Electric Lighting and Power Company at Clanton, Chiffon county. and the contract has been ap- proved by tho Alabama Public Service Commission.
 Tho Alabama Power Company has no transmission line to Clanton at present. but will begin the construc- ton of one within day or two and expects to have 1t completed within thirty days. Until this line is built the Alabama Power Company will not actually take over the Wade property and franchise. the latter continuing to serve that city until the new pur- from their Coosa river plant at Lock IF.
 so1letime ago the Wade interests approached the Alabama Power Com- pany with | proposition to sell their franchise and properties and later, when the citizens of that city joined in the petition the Alabama Power Company entered into negotiations for the purchase.
 The Alabama Public Service Commis- sion last Tuesday approved the sale, whereupon the contract was signed.
 The present charge for lighting in Clanton is 12 cents per kilowatt hour, fiat and the Alabama Power Com pany announces that when it begins the service from it's Coosa river power plant it will reduce this to cents, the < same rate that is charged in all other municipalities served by it. This is a saving of 25 cent in the monthly light ing bill.
 The Alabama Power Company also will give a twenty -four-hour service instead of the ten-hour service now given by the Wade company, thereby enabling the people to use the lights at any time day or night.
