10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1003. ARC-INCANDESCENT CHANGE Hew Omaha Thomson-Houston Company Retires from Basinesa. OMAHA ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER CO Hew Cmrfrn Takes Over Preperty Old Oae Is Capitalised for 9.1,000,. OOO mad Has Bonded Debt of f i,.ino,ooo. There has Just been consummated a very Important change In the altalra and In terest of the Thomson-Houston Electric Light company of this city. Involving the change In name of the corporation and Its business Interests generally. "The situation Is simply this," said Mr. Fred Nash yesterday. "The growth of the business of the Thomson-Houston com pany haa been largely In excess of Its rovenuos. It haa been apendlng lots of money, and haa necessarily accumulated a large floating debt. There haa been ex pended In Installing the underground, or subway system in this city SlBO.OOO. And this year there has been expended upward of :O0,00O In extensions and Improvements. Thesa Include the Installing of two bat teries of bollera at the power plant, and the building of a new atack. The charter of the company expires by limitation In 1306. Improvements Are Necessary. "We make these Improvementa because they are Immediately necessary to the operation of the plant. "We have a force of men at work now preparing for the erection of the new stack and boilers. A generator of 1,800 kilowatt capacity is being made for lis In the east, but will not be finished for a considerable time. Borne time ago I was authority for the statement that the Instal lation of this machinery would be deferred because of the power canal, but we have had to go ahead. The canal, if It be built, will be finished in two years, and we think that the present Improvement will enable us to run unUl that time. With the canal 1n operation our present power plant will be used as a reserve. We have always fur nished power and have now Incorporated the word In the name of the company. The loeal officers will control It aa before, as they have always taken the active part. Of course the eastern stockholders If they wished could assume control.". "The company has been reorganized and an entirely new company formed, which takes over all the property of the old com pany. The new company will be known as The Omaha Electric Light and Power com pany. The new company has been Incor porated In the state of Maine, and the ar ticles of Incorporation were Sled with the secretary, of state at Lincoln yesterday. "The new company haa a capitalization of $3,000,000 and a bond issue of 11.350,000. The ownership has not changed at all. Henry W. Yates, vice president of the company, said: "The company as now reorganised has become the property of eastern capitalists. I do not know what they Intend to do In tha future In regard to any changes or enlargements of tho ' system, or whether they have any Inten tion of furnishing power. Mr. Nash may have some Information, but I do not think ha has. The control of the plant Is not In our hands now and Omaha Is not, at least for tha present, headquarters of the company."
