BROOK’S BUM “JUICE” SERVICE

Cause for Protests Being Made to - Town Board, Says Reporter. Power users met with the town board Tuesday evening to protest against the service furnished by the Interstate Public Service Co. For three days there has been no power that would turn a fair sized motor and blacksmith shops, garages, bakeries, meat markets and printing offices have been unable to turn a wheel. We are now entering the trouble season but wo do know that it is the business of the company to furnish power and they are not doing it. We are just entering the season when electric troubles begin and if we are to be bothered in the future as we have been in the past we must use some other power. What should be done is to have a trouble man located in Brook. If the trouble man from Morocco came as often as we need him and took proper care of the system it would cost the company aa much as to have a man located here permanently. What we want is service and we should have it or install a system of our own. —Brook Reporter.
