This morning the city of
! Norman, for the first time in its
history, received its current for
electric lights and power through a
separate and special -witchboard in
the Oklahoma Gas and Electric com-
any'- plant at Oklahoma City.
1 '-p; itor\ work for this system of
operation ha- been under way for
: the past month an dthe new board
v i 'cut n' at 1 o'clock last night.
F > srything was i nreadiness to in-
stall the new switch and nstllation
was completed in less than an
I hour.
\V! : :'.e :r ent . as first shun
ted through' the new board, for the
protection of the electricians who
accomplished the installation the
electric ty was sh-it off. The
i arl\ mornin. hour was selected as
the time when the .iiangc could be
i made with the 'ea-t incoim lience to
resident'? of this city and of Moore.
Instead of being subject to any de-
rangement of service on the one hun-
an ; fifteen miles of transmission
0, residents of this city will now be
j served through an entirely separate
ine unit of but twenty miles be-
tween Norman and Oklahoma City.
The advantages of such a system of
operation are apparent.
The Oklahoma Gas and Electric
company has been pushing this and
: other extensions and improvements
as fast as material could be secured
and shipments made. The auditing
and accounting department for Nor-
man and Moore was recently trans-
ferred to the city in order to better
! serve the local c.tizens in their trans-
actions with the company. This de-
partment wa- formerly operated in
Oklahoma t'ity. Beginning June
first, members of the company's ef-
ficiency department will be available
without charge to «11 customers in
ihis division for cooperation in light-
ing and power problefs and indi-
j dual requirements.
