POWER Sift L0CATI0.1 Water Power of Spring Crek Canyon Taken. Springville parlies have at last located tin; water power in Spring Creek canyon which has remained tin-taken tin-taken for so many year. This is the property which figured so largely in the electric light plant estimates made by the City Council lastjer, and which the City rontem plated taking up at some future time when a use for the power should be provided. The gentleman making the location are Davis Clark, W, L. Harris and Samuel Norris, all well-known citizens of this city. Notices of location ' were msted on or about Nov. 8. One of the gentlemen slates in an Interview with The Independent, that estimates for a power plant arc beiug prepared, and in cjse a franchise can be obtained from the City, an electric lighting plant will be built and operated in this city. Rough estimates place the cost at about ?5,0U0, and that in order to make the cost to the, consumer low enough for competition with coal oil, at least 800 lights would have to be placed in opt nil ion. It is thought that the citizens would utilize about that number. Two skilled men to run the plant are thought necessary. Of the promoters, Mr. Clark is a well-to-do farmer and fruit-raiser, Mr. Norris is a civil engineer, and Mr. Harris a mill contractor and builder. The gentlemen are well fitted to put the reject through to success, and will no doubt do so if further developments warract the investment of capital iu the enterprise. enter-prise. Card of Thanks.
