Repair Begun On Municipal Plant After Fire
Work began on the repair of the largest generator and one switchboard panel burned out in an accident at the municipal water and light plant. Manager George Sandefur said new coils are on order and the generator should be ready to operate again in about two weeks. Switchboard repairs may be easier, but the generator must be rewound. Engineers are dismantling the machine to replace burned parts, and the small generator will continue service since municipal current was restored last Saturday noon. Charles Evans Hughes was sworn in as Chief Justice, the eleventh to hold the post, after Senate confirmation amid opposition to his economic views. He took the oath at 12:06 p.m. today.
