Citizens of ()kemah are negotiating ^ >th the Oklahoma
Power Company for electric transmission service to re-
place the municipal plant. The municipal plant there is
badly overloaded and voting additional bonds will be nec-
essary in case the high line service is not secured.
Pawnee is negotiating for transmission line service to
that city. If the arrangement is perfected the transmis-
sion line service will replace the service from the muni-
cipal plant which has been a continual source of trouble
and expense to the town.
June 10th, the citizens of W apanucka will vote upon a
proposition from the Public Service Company of I )kla-
homa to furnish service to the town over a high voltage
transmission line, to be extended from Atoka- The mu-
nicipal plant at Wapanucka failed entirely and the town
is compelled to seek a source of supply elsewhere.
In Wisconsin, according to the records of the state
railway commission, the tendency is for municipal plattls-
to purchase current from private companies, which ren-

to be made up through taxes. One year ago there were
