'The decline in the con-
sumption of coal for domestic
uses, says the Every Evening,
''may be taken as a barometer
to show how rapidly anthra-
cite is being supplanted by
other sources for heating and
cooking. The decrease is
more than 12,6OO,OOO tons in
1929 below the total output of
the hard coal mines in 1924,
the peak year. While the
country is, still far from the
time when it will eliminate
coal entirely as a fuel for
power, heat or domestic uses,
it must be conceded that
within another half century
it will have largely disappear
ed to be superseded by cleo
tricity. The great advance in
the use of electric currents

Smyrna citizens and prop.
erty owners have something
to think about in the Offer
made to Smyrna Town Coun-
Gil by the Eastern Shore Pub.
lie Service Company of $780,
900 for it's electric light plant
pole line and franchise. This
offer, it will be seen by oul
news article on first page, has
some very attractive advant-
ages not the least of which il
will pay off all of Smyrna's
bonded Indebtedness, leave a
clean sheet with 100000 to
spare as a sinking fund or to
put out at interest as a per-
manent revenue producer.
Council has the offer in writ
ing but it will not be until the
contract OF franchise is
drawn up and presented that
Council can give considera-
tion to a vote of approval.
This important piece of paper
is to arrive shortly when
Council will call a citizens
meeting to discuss the offer.
Officials of the Eastern Shore
Public Service Company will
be at this meeting to talk
over the offer and answer all
questions in detail. There is
no doubt that the company
can carry on in Smyrna and
save our consumers money.
1t has been asserted alone
that they can save consumers
over $1,000 annually as be-
tween their rates and what
the Town of Smyrna charges.
Aside from this they are
equipped to boost and build
up business where the Town
of Smyrna has not the time.
They intend, it is said, of con-
verting Smyrna's old electric
light plant into a sub-station
and make provisions for a tie
in with current up state SO
that Smyrna and the rest of
their system up this way can
be assured of current for
light and power at all times.
The whole proposition sounds
good and if the terms of
franchise will properly pro-
tect Smyrna to the end of bet
ter and cheaper service,
Smyrna, it would seem, would
have nothing to lose and
everything to gain. 1t is un-
derstood that the officials of
the Shore Company have al
ready agreed to take care of
Chief Engineer James H. VIII
son who has been in charge
of Smyrna's electric light sys-
tenn for so many years.
