POWER COMPANY INTERRIPTS
 RADIO STATION BUSINESS

We are glad to note that the local electric light company has finally made Il move towards remov- ing the annoying static troubles which continually causes interfer- ence with transacting business over the government radio system as well as placing thousands of dollars worth of radio broadcast instru- ments out of commission
 Recently the conditions of recep- ton become so bad that the officer in charge of the government was forced to appeal for aid from rank ing officials in the States. otherwise
 he nuisance would probably go on until the poles carrying the wires had fallen down and caused the death of several people thru being electrocuted. The narrow sighted policy pursued by the present com pany is almost unbearable. Many business concerns have gone to large expense to operate their plants by electric motors and times with out number the current is shut of without any warning and God only knows how soon or when it IS going to come on again. The plant at best is only a haywire makeshift concern and 1t is about time that the city council take up the matter and see what is what. Especially in reference to regulating the price of electric juice and as to esablish- ing a different rate for lights. heat and power service. We are paying 25 cents per K. w. and if we con- tinue this rate we should at least get service. It is reported on good authority that electric energy can be produced in Nome at consider able amount less than the present company Is obtaining and now that the franchise of this corporation is about to- expire. the city fathers can talk turkey to them.
