EDITORIAL .1 At every Logan city election for the past few years has been repeated the slogan, "The city electric light plant ia no longer a matter of politics. And yet there are those in the city, who, if they succeeded in their schemes, would shut down the city plant as soon as their candidates had taken office. There are still those who smart under the defeat they were handed years ago by the champions of the municipal plant They want the last laugh regardless what it is going to cost the rest of the citizens. That is why every Logan resident should think seriously about what he is going to do at the primary election Tuesday and again at the final election in 4-- Bf Dr. P. 4-- nts sub-statio- A n.

IF SO, HOW DO THEY GET THE EXTRA 640 KILOWATTS AROUND TOWN. THEIR TWO TRANSFORMERS WILL NOT CARRY IT. Possibly Reddy Kilowatt totes it around. The Peoples Municipal Power Plant has in course of installation TWO 2500 K.V.A. generator units, having an aggregate capacity of 5000 K.V.A., delivered by the most modem, dependable and plant in Utah. Thus we see that will even better service than the Company the peoples plant give VI now provides. Engineers after exhaustive research and investigation have estimated that the actual peak load of Provo City, apart from the contiguous areas served by the Utah Power & Light Company transformers referred to is 2300 kilowatts. There is no guess work involved in these figures. City Engineer Elmer A. Jacob examined the official records of Utah Power & Light Company on file with the Public Service Commission at the State Capitol. He found that the capacity of the Provo is as above stated, all of which demonstrates conthe Power Companys latest scare is merely the that clusively and fraudulent attempt to obtain a fran-- . usual sub-stati- on I mis-stateme- nt chise by dishonest means.

PAYRoOi The Power Company's Army of Occupation and Dr. Adam S.
