A legal notice calling tor the bond election appears in this newspaper. Mayor Eldon C. Sherwood says that some time ago it became apparent that the electrical distribution system was not keeping up with the increased usage of electrical power, and that even though much work has been done to expand the system and to keep circuits within recommended bounds, the growth has been much greater than the present system can accomodate. It has been pointed out by City officials that studies made by electrical engineers have borne out the need for immediate action. At least two independent studies have been made, with almost identical results. Mayor Sherwood pointed out. We have several ways to go Mayor stated. First, we can do nothing in the way ol rebuilding the system and bringing it to a capacity equal to Sherwood usage, with the result of continued blackouts Irom overloaded transformers and overloaded substation. Secondly, he pointed out, we could take several years to rebuild the system, with the resultant price inllation on supplies needed which could lorce the City to pay out huge sums extra, bet ore the job is completed. Under any plan, we are facing blackouts because of equipment" the Mayor stated. Nephi City Councilmen, in making a study ot the situation, have felt that the quicker the job could be done, the cheaper the cost will be, and the less danger of long, expensive power interruptions to the people of the area. Mayor Sherwood said. Only one voting place has been scheduled for the bond election, that being the Senior Citizens Center at 15 North Main (just north of First Security Bank).
