He called attention to the fact that one of the worst. effects of the white man‘s prejudice against the negro is that it begets a like preâ€" judice and suspicion in the negro, creating a bad condition in which a mutual understanding is very hard to attain. Mr. Jackson‘s theory is that such suspicion can best be disâ€" pelled by knowing each other as inâ€" dividuals. lack of schools for negroes until withâ€" in very recent years he depicted a negro‘s hopes and ambitions as being the same as those of any other man.

This for the most part was found quite old, and their report advised against the use of any of this equipment, with the exception of the pumps, which were installed about a year Our next problem was to determine whether we would continue with a steam plant or install some other type. Every type and combination available bas been carefully studied and the commission has finally deâ€" cided that an allâ€"electric plant would be the most satisfactory from many standpoints. First, it would enable us to build a small compact attractive plant on our present location. Secondly, it would eliminate the hauling of coal through the residential district, and more important, would do away with the present smoke stack and smoke nuisance. Lastly, the installation cost would be considerably less than for a high duty steam plant. Plans and specifications are now being worked out by the engineers, and we hope to be ready to take bids within a reasonably short time. gressed as rapidly as we had hoped, ing this time so that we may be sure that we are proceeding in the most conservative way. We can assure we feel that we are justified in takâ€" the people that when this plant is completed it will be one of the most modern plants inthis territory.
