From The Daily Times, Wilson, N.C., Dec. 11,

Creek Is Up at
Raleigh
Raleigh, Dec. 11—A telephonic message from the regional coal
committee of Atlanta received at the local offices of the Carolina Light and
Power Company and the Yadkin River Power Company yesterday brought the news
that the closing order as to light and power that these companies furnish for
the city is lifted again.
On account of the rise in the waters of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin rivers the principal plants located on these rivers have notified the
regional coal committee that the use of coal could be dispensed with, the
hydro-electric power now being sufficient to care for the customers. In the
case of the receding of the Cape Fear and Yadkin rivers, the Jones street plant
of the Carolina Power and Light Company which now is inactive, will continue so
until the hydro-electric plants become unavailable to handle the situation.
As far as lighting and power is concerned, the fuel order in
Raleigh is again suspended, it is said, the regulations on the use of coal,
wood, gas and coke for fuel continuing. Offices, stores and other business
establishments must bank their fires according to the fuel regulations, but may
observe the usual hours.
