Ease Up On the Water,
Light and Power, Wilson
Superintendent Grantham requests us to ask the people of
Wilson to ease up on the use of water, lights and power until he can secure
another machine from the factory, one of them having burned out yesterday.
Another machine known as the “Exciter” has been ordered from Schenectady, N.Y.,
by express and should arrive in a day or two, though express nowadays is almost
as slow and uncertain as freight.
The new machine will cost $2,045 and weighs heavy, so the
express will be a considerable item.
In the meantime the machine which has been substituted for
the one burned out is about half the size and therefore Mr. Grantham is afraid
it might burn out, and if it does the city will be in darkness. So every light
you turn out and every drop of water less that you use, and every wheel that
you stop will take just that much burden from the already overburdened plant.
