Burlington Washington September 26 1914 letter warns Sidney taxpayers against funding a municipal lighting and heating plant in competition with an established private plant. The writer cites high costs 40000 to 50000 dollars and ongoing monthly expenses and debt service arguing the town lacks sufficient business to sustain two plants and warns of heavy taxes if pursued. He notes switching to alternating current would force new equipment purchases and questions municipal management efficiency versus private operation. He provides prior plant figures showing modest sustenance and potential losses for a new venture.

Be 2 my Be 2 my Carnegie and central school notes
In the Carnegie building 30 primary pupils are enrolled and over 150 remain in the first three grades at the central building. Seams classes show 16 and 17 girls in sewing and manual training. High school lectures will include a lecture, an entertainment, and three musical companies. Enrollment rises in all departments and 32 pupils occupy the sixth grade with two more entering Monday.

Attendance in grades is good but high school student attendance is poor, with irregular attendance blamed for retarda tion and calls for action by teachers and parents.
