Fitch of the gas department recently underwent an operation for appendicitis and is rapidly recovering. On January 4th practically the entire business district and several dwellings of Port Allen were destroyed by fire. Port Allen is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River opposite Baton Rouge. The fire loss is placed at approximately $50,000. On January 11th the first snow in four years fell in Baton Rouge and vicinity and covered the ground to a depth of half an inch and did not melt for 48 hours. This snow was followed by a fall in temperature to 11° above zero, the lowest recorded since 1899. Beaumont, Tex. Miss Lilian Andersen left us shortly before Christmas to return permanently to her Chicago home after having spent a year and a half in Beaumont. On January 3rd, Mr. W. V. Neal, superintendent of the railway department since 1913, severed his connections with the Stone and Webster organization. At the present time his work is being carried on by Mr. E. J. Davis also claim and purchasing agent, with the assistance of Mr. J. P. Marton, formerly with the Oak Cliff lines of the Northern Texas Traction Company. Columbus, Ga. Our eight new Birney cars will soon be in operation, and the mayor and alderman of the city and our local directors have been invited to take an inspection trip on them. Columbus suffered from a coal shortage during January. The Gas Company, through the efforts of Mr. John A. Betjeman, local Fuel Administrator, has been assured an adequate supply of coal, and Mr. Betjeman is now taking steps to secure sufficient coal to operate the supplemental steam plant when the addition to it is completed. The cotton mills here that are operated by hydro-electric power were forced to close on only one Monday under the Garfield order, as the Fuel Administration ruled that this did not apply to industries operated by hydroelectric power. Mr. Frank U. Garrard spent a good part of the month of January in Washington on matters pertaining to the Columbus Chamber of Com merce. Several inspections have been made by army officers of camp sites near Columbus, but no camp has as yet been established here. The Columbus Power Company is now carrying the heaviest load in its history. Steady progress is being made on the construction work for the extension to the steam plant. While no fuel is saved, due to the fact that the company is only operating hydro-electric power at that time of day, we have been observing two "lightless nights" each week, as it impresses upon the public the fact that this country is at war. Mr. John S. Bleecker, Mr. John F. Flournoy and Mr. Frank U. Garrard have been appointed on the Executive Committee of a Greater Tech campaign for the raising of money to equip a research laboratory at the Georgia School of Technology, and Mr. R. M. Harding is assisting in this campaign as captain of a soliciting team. Mrs. Hattie Ashley has been employed at the steam plant, and at present is doing log sheet work. El Paso, Tex. Mr. J. L. Alexander, formerly superintendent of light and power in Savannah, Ga., has been recently transferred to El Paso as superintendent of the light and power department. Mr. C. C. Curtis, for about two and a half years superintendent of light and power in El Paso, has gone to Sydney, Nova Scotia, as manager of the Cape Breton Electric Company. Mr. Bradley and Mr. Phinney spent several days in El Paso in December. Mr. Bradley has also been to our city twice during January. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sewall spent a day here recently en route to their new home in Bellingham, Washington. Mr. Sewall who was formerly superintendent of railways in Houston, is going to Bellingham as manager of the company there. Fort Madison, Ia. P. I. Robinson, formerly superintendent of the Houghton County Electric Light Company, Houghton, Michigan, has been appointed manager of the Fort Madison Electric and Dallas City Light Companies. Mr. Sidney J. Roy, secretary of the Mississippi River Improvement Association, recently gave an address before the Fort Madison Chamber of Commerce, outlining the work the Association is intending to carry on in connection with the U. S. Government, to encourage river traffic. He urged the construction of a terminal dock for Fort Madison in order that local shippers may have the benefit of shipping by water, and it is very likely that such a dock will be constructed during the coming year. Galveston, Tex. Julius M. De Bouy, general clerk, was transferred during December, assuming similar duties with the Houston Electric Company. The Christmas Membership Campaign of the American Red Cross gave unexpected results in Galveston; our original allotment was 6,000, later raised to 9,000, and on Christmas eve 20,000 new members were reported. This response, following closely the heavy over-subscriptions to both Liberty Loans and the Y. M. C. A. Campaign, says much for Galveston, especially in view of depressed business conditions during the past twelve months. Late in November the 19th Regiment of Marines arrived in Galveston and is stationed at the Government Reservation, Fort Crockett. In December a battalion of regular infantry was sent here to assist in guarding the wharf front. We estimate that at the present time there are over 3,500 soldiers in the city. Haverhill, Mass. ment.
