Tombstone After
Electric Power

TOMBSTONE-The city council
is now taking steps to procure
electricity in Tombstone.
The future growth of this COM
munity is believed by the city ad-
ministration to depend upon the in
stallation of electric service. The
best means of accomplishing this
is now being considered by com
mittee which will report in june

Although bonds recently voted by

is an inclination to refrain from
marketing them and to interest pri'
vate capital in the enterprise.
