ocALA is GROWING

Ocala, Feb. 2S.-Tii2 future of Ocala
never appeared brighter than it does
at present. The growth of the city is
indicated conciusively by the demand
fer the enlargement of public utilities.
Recent developments have shown that
the consumption Of electric current
during 1921 increased over so per
cent, and the municipal plant must be
enlarged to meet the demand, and the
Ocala Telephone Company has found
it necessary to install an additional
switchboard in order to meet the de-
mands for new phones. Enlargement
of the waterworks system also has
become necessary. The city also is
faced with housing shortage and a
shortage of store rooms. A new high
school building will have to be erect
ed at once 20 accommodate the in
creased number of students, and addi-
tional property for the city schools

ELECTRIC POWER FOR COOKING

ELECTRIC POWER FOR COOKING
Jacksonville, Feb. 2S-Jackson-
ville's municipality owner electric
plant is to enlarge it's activities in an
effort to completely electrify the
home, the city commission has decid-
ed. The plan, it is said, will effect a
material saving in the cost of fuel to
the consumer.
The city commission recently adopt
ed a report submitted by committee
outlining a comprehensive plan for
making available to the housewife
=, power for cooking and heating to sup
plement to supplement electric lights.
For cooking and heating purposes the
power is to be served at net cost of
cents kilowatt hour, which will be
retained. Heating and cooking appa-
ratus will be supplied through me-
ter separate from the lighting meter,
with necessary additional wiring ia
cilities, will be sold by the city at cost
on the installment plan. An adequate
supply of electrical fixtures will be
kept on hand to meet the demands.
A six months advertising campaign
will be carried oct for the purpose of
popularizing the new plan. Instruct
ors will be employed to acquaint the
public with the electrical usages and
statesmen will carry the selling cam
paign directly to the home.
Recently the city commission and
the Jacksonville Gas Company have
been at odds over the latters fuel
charge. After many efforts at COM
promise the commission peremptor-
lily ordered the utility to reduce its
gass rate from $1.S5 per cubic thou
sand feet to $1.65. The latest word in
the controversy is that of an official
of the utility that the rate will not
be reduced, meaning apparently that
the gas company planned to appeal
from the commission S order to the
state railroad commission. Out of the
affair, in the meantime, grew the SEN
timent for selling the city's electricity
to the consumer to take the place of
