In obtaining the water supply
from the mountains, thu city de
veloped, almost as a by-product,
electrical energy which, though
lncoinplett) can be wholesaled
within a year to distributing com-
panics for approximately $2,om.
U00 annually. A faction of citi
zens, however, is urging the city
not to dispose of .this power, but
Instead to go Into thu power busi-
4 ness by purchasing the existing
; distributing plants and selling
light und power to the people di
rectly. Other residents are op
posing such a municipal 'business.

the city after obtaining .the site
was the construction of a stau-

railroad now stands O'Shaugh-r.-Ms-
