Last year while the restrictions were in force, the local commission were able to generate enough "power at their plant to offset a portion of the reduc- tion and thus avoid power shut-offs as experienced by other municipalities. Such is not the case this year, with no water supply available, and, in ad- dition the local power allotment is reduced by 5% over last year. Add to ,that a general increase in power consumption in town of 16.5% during the year, and it may readily be seen that all users of electricity must conserve at all times. The greatest savings can and must be made in the homes. Industry will do its part, but it is essential that if the factories are to receive enough to keep operating, that you at home must at all times keep a watchful eye and keep your consumption to a minimum. Delivery Holiday , There will be no General Delivery in town during the week of Septem- ber 20th to 25th, owing to the obser- vance of the annual week's holiday.
