Plant of Burhngton. At this
meeting Mr. Tillett ohe of Char
lotte’s best and ablest attorney's
was present, having been secur
ed by the town to go carefully
over the contract which was
made binding certain parts were
questioned and slightly ch.nged
by Mr. Parker, meeting the ap
proval of those concerned. Im
mediately after the sale the Board
took a vote and decided to use
the surplus part of the money
received for paying off indebted
ness incurred in maintaining tli6
Electric Light and VVater Plant.
Mr. J. L. Scott and Dr. T. S.
Faucette favored spending part
of the money for street improve^
ments.
The election called by ihte board
of aldermen a few days ago to
determine whether they should
sell the city light and power
plant, passed off very quietly
Saturday and resulted in an al
most unanimous victory in‘ favor
of the sale. 1 he vote stood as
follows: To sell, 369; not to sell,
30. The average vote in the ci :y
is about 500, so it is readily seen
that a majority of the entire vote
of the town‘was cast foi', the
sale.
The purchasers of the plant
are the stockholders of the Pied
mont Electric Railway Company,
owners of the car line in this
city. They wiill begin the con
struction at once of a large cen
tral pow’er plant just outside the
corporate limits of the city, be
tween Burlington and Graham,
estimated to cost $400,000. At
this central plant current will be
generated to be used in lighting
the towns of Burlington, Gra
ham, Haw River, Mebane, Swep-
sonville and JSlon College. They
will also furnish to manufactur
ing concerns and it is believed
that the sale means much for the
development of this section, as
they will be able to furnish pow
er so much cheaper than it has
ever been secured before, and
with the other natural advanta
ges, Alamance willgiow as nev
er before.
