Light riant In Shape.
Jesse Bolsley of Omaha expert
workman with the Sunderlan Roof &
Supply Co., returned to Omaha this
morning having worked yesterday
and last night at the electric light
plant here. The expert put in some
new shafting and repaired the belts
and put the plant in good shape to
render fust class service from now on.
Heretofore when something happened
to one of the dynamos some little
time was required in taking off one
belt and putting on the other before
the light could be tumid on again.
But now all that will be necessary to
start up will be to throw the clutches
from one machine to the other which
will be but the work of a moment.
Users of lights will get good service
in the. future, as Mr. Bolsley says
the plant is now in good shape.

conflicting evidence, as his friends

ing to their view there was no error
in the record of the trial.
