IN ELECTRIC POWER BUSINESS

At one time Mr. Williams said he put in and ran the city electric plant and everything. The first machinery wore out and was no good and had to be replaced. No finally leased it and then sold it. Mr. Williams and Bob Emmett working down there, power and city water.

(This must have been after the original electric and ice plant was burned one Thanksgiving night, put in and operated as I recall by Mr. McSpadden. Later a deep city water well was put in there. I remember the first electric lights very well. Originally, of course, we had kerosene lamps.)
