Borneo's Housing Problem.

Housekeeping in Borncc has is COM
plicatiOns. As a rule large number
Of families live under one roof. On
an average there are 40 but Instances
have been known In which as many as
400 persons were living together IN a
single community house. Tie houses
are constructed on piles, with ladders
leading to the outer uncovered ve-
randa, which runs the entire length Of
the house. The veranda Is used more
or less as. a public highway. Anyone
passing through the village may climb
mp the ladder at one end. walk along
II and climb down the other end In
the most casual manner. Just back
of 1t lies q covered portion Of the
house, and here most of the work is
carried on. Opening from the
veranda is series OF doors leading
into separate rooms, one belonging TO
each family. Here the Dyaks do their
cooking, eating and sleeping, except
that unmarried girls usually sleep In
loft reached from the rooms, while
the boys occupy the inner veranda.

CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY
Service Department..

In New Years greeting to Dis
trict Manager w. G. Cobb of the
Consumers Power company received
today, C. w. Tippy of Jackson, gen.
eral manager, announces that begin
ming Jan. 1, the company will be in
position to furnish additional indus
trial power in limited amounts to
Owosso consumers.
Heavy demands on the company's
plants and temporary inability to
finance additional capital to meet
them, necessitated placing ban last
March on all new power business.
The addition of nearly 1900 new
Michigan stockholders up to the close
of business Dec. 80, and rapid pro-
gress in the company's plant improve
ment construction program, however,
now make possible cancellation of
this restriction.
"This is about the best news for
the New Year we could have" says
Mr.. Cobb. During the year many
local manufacturers were forced to
abandon plans for production expan.
sion and in some cases additions to
plants because of lack of sufficient
power supply. The new order gives
a much more optimistic aspect to the
1921 business outlook here, in that
a limited supply of new power will be
available whenever general condi.
tions demand the full resumption of
industrial activities in local plants.
