The following from the Waco Star is of local interest:
To the public: After a careful
investigation made at considerable expense, I find that the electric light and
power business in Waco is not sufficiently large to justify the erection of
another electric light plant in competition with the present company.
This, with the reluctance of a large number of business men, to offer the proper
encouragement, namely, the signing of sufficient contracts to warrant the
expenditure for a new plant, has caused me to withdraw from the Waco field.
It is quite probable that the investigation
in Texas by me will be beneficial to Waco in the not distant, resulting from the
installation of a large central power plant in the lignite fields in Central
Texas.
Yours very truly,
Joseph J. Henry.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 21.
