Show in last weeks issue we had something thin to say concerning the light and power set service ice of this city and since then have lea learned irked a few things which we nye did not know before there Is a possibility of having baving first class liht light all the time as well as all the which the users are entitled entitle 1 to without robbing anyone else there is plenty of energy generated at the power plant to serve nil all purposes and supply every contract which the city has entered into provided those who lie are using electrical energy will be judi judicious dious for ins ance the cement plant uses less power in ili the morning than in the afternoon and as a rule the iril ini gatlon gation pumps are operated in ili the middle of oe the day and afternoon atter the lest best time to is before the sun still comes up so it if all the pumps wore set in ili motion early in the morning and the irrigation was completed befree e midday the result would ie that the pump users would have more energy with abich to run their pumps and the cement factory would then have no trouble in fit getting along with its TC regular illar voltage it if the pumps are kept running all day long and the cement plant must have its supply vl lot energy there is an overload it at the power plant and those using light and power in in this city during the day time find it difficult to get along with the limited amunt that comes s through the wires toe the city fathers made a wise libove move when they dispo disposed eed of we surplus power because it was a good business investment and money is required to run the power plant and redeem the bonds before any power was disposed of a careful estimate was made of what the city would need which was deducted front from the entire generative enera foice at the plant and the balance 0 ba lance was surplus sui plus which was aas disposed of very likely the whole trouble lies in the tact fact that from the installation ot of the city electric light plant we have had bad more light and power than we ne could use so that every light and power user has gone the limit so to speak and now when the energy eliasi has been distributed using up tip all the surplus and whon when it is made necessary for all the users to confine themselves to a limitation it rather works a haul haid ship the situation is something similar to that of a spoiled child when it is list brought face to face with aith the stern realities but i we e have been assured by the chair i man of the electric light committee I 1 that there is plenty of energy genera ted at the power plant for all who nie aio 1 I 1 depending thereon if each user will be judicious and not draw on more current than he is entitled to As soon as tile the new pipe line can call be installed it will be accomplished and then there will be energy almost unlimited |
