of which ('apt. David Clark
is chairman:
'It is now almost certain that
Charlotte is to have cheap electric
power, in abundance in the near
future.
"The \ an Deventer Company,
of Kuoxville, Tenn., who were Ht
the time of our last meeting promising
to give us electric power, have
apparently abandoned the plan.
'"It appears from what I can
learn that they did not have very
strong financial backing. Their
plan evidently was to get a certain
amount of contracts in CharDtte
and on the strength of three they
expected to be able to organize a
company in the north, iieing unable
to get the contracts they ahandaned
the scheme
' W e have had a letter from Dr.
Gill Wylie, who has for some time
been developing h water-power below
Rock Hill.
"He states that he will have
1.000 lmrse-power developed by the
1st of January unless he is delayed
by very much bad weather.
"The power, however, will be
first offered to Rock Hill and Fort
Mill and only the part that they
do not contract for will be brought
to Charlotte.
"We also have a letter froui the
Whitney Reduction Company,
stating that they have bought 1iniles
