City Delays Power Plant Purchase to Save Costs
The city council, facing a Deming Ice & Electric Co. rate increase, weighed buying a power plant to supply water works and street lighting. After negotiations, the company offered to drop the service charge and reduce rates to 7.44 cents per kilowatt, prompting the council to trial the arrangement for a few months. The planned equipment purchase, worth about $25,000, was deferred, saving 25 percent compared with past prices and aligning with public interests. A 35-hp Fairbanks-Morse booster marine was also ordered, leaving the water department with two boosters for emergencies.

Six hundred Mexicans were transported by trucks through Deming to Juarez from Glore and Miami Arizona in the last month. The workers, hired by Arizona copper companies, received transportation costs paid by Inspiration Copper Co for the first two shipments and by the Mexican government for the latest train. Arrangements were made for passage at the Central depot for farm labor in Chiuhuahua. About 2000 more Mexicans remain at Arizona copper camps, many living in poverty and sending little money home. Some wives save nothing and struggle to buy bread for children during the harsh journey.
