Things are now shaping themselves admirably which may mean the coming of electric lights and electric power to New Richmond, and to our sister towns of Linden and Wingate. A company of a half dozen of our most enthusiastic light promoters, composed of Charles and Will Kirkpatrick, Charles Haywood, O. W. Mason, James T. Parlon and Fred L. Hunt, made an auto trip to Otterbein and Oxford last Friday to investigate the electric light systems of those towns.

To furnish New Richmond and her neighbor towns this much coveted electric light and power, it is proposed to form an incorporated company, this company to build the heavy transmission lines to the incorporation borders of these towns, the towns each to build the lines within their borders; the company to furnish the power from the Crawfordsville plant to each of the towns, the cost and profits to be prorated between this company and each of the towns according to the cost of construction and the amount of power used. By this system, New Richmond would have 24-hour-a-day light service, same as the larger cities, whereas in a small local plant we would have only a night service, possibly 'Six hours, and then with the usual gasoline engine troubles oftentimes no light at all. The line as proposed from Crawfordsville, would carry sufficient power for all of the three towns for any and all purposes. The Crawfordsville plant is as good as there is in the state. The power for the New Richmond line would come direct from a motor for this line, and in case of accident or break could be switched onto another motor temporarily until the break is mended with no break felt in the service iere. With the power at hand at any time, day or night, at merely the touch of a button, wouldn’t it be wortu while to always have it landy to use the electric washer, electric irons, motors, vacuum cleaners, ice machines, bread toasters, and the like, to say nothing of fine lighted homes and well lighted streets all night? Bring us the electric light!

I Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kirkpatrick returned the latter part of last week from a trip to Chicago to complete their final touches to the plans and specifications of their handsome new home which they will build this summer at the east end of Washington street. The plans are expected here in a day or so, and soon the contracts will be let, and the preliminary work of construction will begin at once.

At Otterbein they found an organized corporation was furnishing the light to the town, the current bought from the LaFayette plant and transmitted to Otterbein over a three-wire line of non-guaranteed construction, the cost of line construction being $460 per mile. The electricity is sold by meter at a minimum cost of $1.00 per light per month. This plant for Otterbein was installed last year. The cost to users there is the same rate as Crawfordsville, and its patrons seem well satisfied.

made self-supporting, but their superintendent told our representatives that the electric plant alone would not be a paying proposition, and he expressed his opinion that it would be best for us, for many reasons, to use the current from Crawfordsville rather than install a plant here. Charles Kirkpatrick and John T. Detchon were in Crawfordsville Monday to ascertain more facts in the electric light and power proposition. From the Crawfoidsville company the approximate figures and cost of construction was arrived at. In the proposed construction of a standard constructed line, the cost is fixed at $600 a mile, the 10 miles line to Linden, 4 miles to New Richmond and B miles to Wingate, a total of 19 miles would cost $11,400. Transformers, meters, etc., brings the cost of construction to $22,450. As proposed, each of the three towns will install 20 street lights of 320 candlepower at a cost of $1,000 a year. A conservative estimate is made Jbat G5 private consumers in each of the three towns, figured at $1,25 each per month, would mean a yearly income of $3,057.50; making the total receipts $6,607 50. The yearly cost of the current from Crawfordsville on this basis is approximately 32,019; thus leaving a profit of $4,048.50, to be
