Electric - Putnam

The Greencastle Banner occasionally sees things, and some of the things it sees really come to pass. Last evening the Banner says: Greencastle will have that power line from Terre Haute to Indianapolis within the coming 90 days. This is the talk that reaches the Banner direct from headquarters and it is founded on pretty good authority. The Fauvre interests that have the building of the line and who have a franchise to do business in this city, day or night with power or lighting circuit are getting busy. They have the West Terre Haute plant in good shape and have made arrangements to work eastward step by step.

To this end they have purchased the Brazil Power Plant and will get busy at once on getting their wires to Greencastle. It is given out that it is their purpose to run the Greencastle business from the Brazil plant until they can get their main lin3 established, thus forming another link in the electrical chain that will bind the four big cities of this section together: namely, Greencastle, Brazil, Terre Haute and Indianapolis.

If the promise to get the current here in 90 days holds good, those who are figuring on using motors might as well begin getting prices on the same. We want the line and Greencastle has extended its aid in giving the company a franchise. - kbz
