HEATING IS PLANT NEEDED
The recent cold urinp in Alliance lias served to emphasize the need
of a city steam heating plant. The city council will niye serious con
sideration to ways and meatus of securing a plant of this kind at the
January meeting. Knough steam goes to waste at the electric light
rlant to heat tho downtown portion of the city on ordinary winter
days. Much interest is being manifested in the proposition by prop
erty owners and tenants of buildings who would be served by the
nljuit. According to tho figures presented to the council by the ex
pert who was hero in the fall, a plant at reasonalbe charges for heat,
would pay the city big dividends. It is to be hoped that our city dads
can find a way to get the work started so that next winter the plant
will be in full operation. I t
