FROM UNIVERSITY PLANT
From The Independent 3/9/1907

As soon as the work of putting up the wires is completed the University electric 
plant will furnish all the light that is used at the Horticultural building, 
Read hall, the Gymnasium, the Dairy Building, the Farm Machinery building, the 
Creamery laboratory and the barns at the Agricultural farm.  In addition to 
light all the power that is used in the various buildings at the farm will be 
gotten from the University plant.  Heretofore the light has been purchased from 
the city for these different buildings and the power has been steam.  The saving 
in coal will the large and the light bills will be largely cut down.

A force of men is now at work stringing the wires and the work will be completed 
in about two days.  —Columbia Tribune
