This week we had the pleasure of inspecting the new light plant at Manheim and all we could see of it was the concrete foundation walls about two feet in height, together with several 2-horse loads of bricks | that were lying nearby. There not an inch of lumber for its erec tion about the place. While our light service was slightly better the past few months than it has been for some time, it is not up to the standard by far. Does it seem just that we should be obliged to pay full price for that kind of service? Present indications are that the company’s new plant will not be ready for action within the next three months.

While workmen were engaged at digging out the cellar of the Pres- byterian Church, on Friday, to put in a heating plant, they dug too close to the foundation wall and the wall fell in on the one side of the church.

As the building is of brick, with a slate roof, there was considerable weight on the remaining wall and on Saturday the entire wall on the one side from the foundation to the roof, fell. To rebuild thisit will necessitate a cost of possibly $500 or more. Rev. Kensey J.
