MAY 12. 1921 NUMBER 34 FLORA CITY UGHT PLANT ELECnOlf Pikte !• gatnrdajr. May 21st, the De¬ cisive Honr Set for Progress io Oar CommiuUty * / IS AN ABSOLUTE NECBSSIDT A crisis In tbe affairs of the city ot Flora is here. . Tbe city electric light plant has been run continuously for 24 years and has proven to be a good plant, for tbe average life of a plant of this kind is 20 years. Now the city has outgrown the facilitlea tor light and po^er and the macbln ery. Is In such condition that a ser ious breakdown might occur at any hour and' we would be left without power, light or city water, for the water pumping system Is dependent on the power plant. Already over loaded, the city officials cannot furnish additional power and light to any more of our citizens and any f\iture extension of service is depen¬ dent on an affirmative vote for Im¬ provement of the property. Engineer Fuller, of St. Louis, Who bullded the plant 24 years ago, has made plans and specifications and these have been adopted by the city officials and were aproved at a meet¬ ing of citizens held at Library hall several weeks ago. A bond Issue of practically $30,000 is to be voted on May 2Ist. Theee bonds are to run for 20 years, but ftre annual bonds, one each being paid off every year, thus reducing the Interest payments. No Increase in Taxation The question of cost and extra taxation has been gone Into and it bas been ascertained that with tbe Improvement there will be a saving in coal labor and upkeep of about 9300 per month and with the added revenue from more light and power customers, tbere should be a gain of about $400 monthly. This sav¬ ing will be sufficient to offset the bond principal and interest pay¬ ments, and It will not be necessary to increase the city tax levy to pay for the Improvement. The saving on the coal bill alone Is estimated at 25 per cent. Hnuill Cost. Better Service Under the plan of Improvement tbere will be a very small cost to power users and none to light users. The present direct current will be used in .the .business section and the new alternating current machin¬ ery used for the residence section because a. c. will give better service than direct current at greater distan¬ ces from the plant. It will not be necessary to change the wirings.or the fan motors In residences, but only motors of the washing machfue type, and they can be exchanged for alter¬ nating current motors at a very small cash difference. The improved ser¬ vice will more than offset the small outlay for motor exchange. The future progress and develop¬ ment of Flora absolutely depends on an affirmative vote May 21st. REGARDING LEGAL PUBUCATION8 FORD AGENCY CHANGES HANDS Al Medley was In St. Louis on Tuesday and while there made con¬ tracts for the sale of Ford cars and tractors In this county.
