Demand for Daytime Electric Power in City
City residents show strong demand for daytime electric current from the city power house to power motors for small machinery. A petition will seek Water and Light Commission and city council action to establish day current. Domestic and business use is expanding, with potential users including printing offices elevators jewelry stores laundries and homes for electric irons. The move aims to enable electric cooking and shift from gasoline or foot power as the city grows.
