Lawrens case prompts towns to build own electric system
The Sun suggests Pocahontas County towns and nearby areas form a central plant to manufacture electricity. Laurens built a line to a new plant for favorable rates, but the court changed the rate. Rolfe Light & Power Co. had a similar concession, later overturned. The Sun argues contracts may be invalid if conditions change and urges towns to consider self‑supply.
