The citizens of Latta will be glao to learn that the finances of the light plant are now in good shape. mo >juiiiinimiuuuia, u,. x>. oerry, Xj. A. Manning. Jr., and R. R. Humphries have been giving the matter of the operation of the plant close attention and now have in the treasury more than enough funds to pay all outstanding bills except the purchase price of the tank of fuel oil Just received. They have in the sinking fund over four thousand dollars. The bonds outstanding on account of the light plant amount to $22,000.00 but deducting the amount of the sinking fund of over $4,000.00 leaves a net indebtedness of less than $18,000.00. The commissioners feel very much gratified over the fact that the light plant is now on a paying basis and at their first meeting a resolution was passed that from June the first the commissioners will receive their res idcntial lights free and they hope that by the beginning of the neaw year, 19 22, they will be able to give a reduced rate to the customers of the plant.
