Locals report power woes and city council actions
H R Caldwell heads to the North Star mine for winter, Mise Della Peak to stay at Peak house. Power line trouble left the city electric system inoperable Wednesday night and disrupted services. The trouble squad worked overnight from Jerome to Shoshone and could not locate the cause. The village council met Monday, approved bills, and adjourned to Tuesday. On Tuesday the council elected W C Custer as chairman, replacing Frank Grosse who resigned last fall. A new street lighting contract lowered the city light bill by 78 dollars annually. A resolution annulled the Beaver River power company franchise granted years ago, since the state utilities commission had denied entry to Shoshone and no formal cancellation had been made before this meeting.
