Light Co. Wants to Quit
The ManBfleld Light & Power Co.
has made application to the public
service commission to discontinue
business. We hope some steps can
be taken so that Mansfield will not
go 'dark."
Mansfield needs lights and Ice. and
some means ought to be devised
whereby these can bo provided. The
effort to sell sufficient stock for the
purchaso of the new engine needed
at the plant did not succeed, only
about 50 shares being subscribed tor
by our citizens.
The annual meeting of the stock,
holders of the Mansfield Light nnd
Power Co., called for last week, was
postponed.
