The plant be-longs be-longs to the people, and we are oal. lying to manage it to the best benefit be-nefit t0 you. We have studded the condition for io'me time, and we are low work In-? ou iivo.vements that we are promised vv' l put the Pis 11' i.i first cla'.i working condition. Mostof the complaints have beer made that the lights were too dim at night. Many things cause this voce 'ally ia the -winter when tin water ij low. This we think can be .'irrected by so.ue readjiisime.its, and we have now an expert electrician electri-cian hired to do this work. He will rearrange the transformers and he promise-) that this will put all home equal fa. light. ' At the prevent tiuu part of the town have much brighter lights than other parts. It will take more than three months to make all the improvements now contemplate so we are trying to rush the work a? fast a3 possible. Another complaint is that "we have a meter', and pay $1.00 and our neighbors have more lights than wi do with big globes and 'bur a them all night and day and pay less than wo do," This is not only unfair, bat a condition that is local. An investigation in-vestigation of the power companies thruout the state showed that the "Plat Rate" that we have is almost unknown anywhere ele. An ordinance ordin-ance ha been pas-ed now ma kin." it compulsciry on all light patrons of Mt. Pleasant Oit.v tr have a meier Installed and working not later than October 15, 192fi. After Oelobsr 15, 1926 no eleetr'.et service will be .given to any paitlron except thru a meter. W-'ll all who di not now have a meter -.lease take notice and have a mete- -ap installed, a' make application lo the City Collector Col-lector for a me'e-r .-jo it can bp in ta"-ed ta"-ed before the ahove date.

Should he try fo halanfo the .system now hen with the rriadiustment from '-laciii'r meter'-, he would have to do all the work ovclr. Some -complain that they pay their accr.'.-nts, and others dn no.'. Thi? rtoes noi ha.ppei now. The collector Mr. Christen "ten has been ordered to rpnrt monthly to the council all accounts ac-counts fa- water or light that are two month: or more in arrears, and the comicl! thm instructs Mr; Ti 'o lin e them disconnected immediate' immedi-ate' .
