While no definite plans have been decided upon, it Is understood that the program includes the erection of a building to house ma- cbinery for the manufacture of water gas and to provide other facilities for increasing the output of the Decatur plant to accommodate the heavy demand that is now being made and to provide for the future. Will Spend Already the officials have authorized the expenditure of about for the reconstruction of the ooal gas Results of the expenditure of this money will not be visible on the outside as all of the work will be done within the plant. The present "benches" are burned out and all must be replaced.

They are constructed for fire clay brlelc and equipped with machinery for the manufacture of coal gas. There has been no decision en the proposition of constructing a large power plant at the Sangamon river when the water impounding project Is completed by the city. This project is still under disoueslon and probably will be definitely decided upon after the work on the new dam is started. The matter la being bandied by the highest offlolala the system. P.O.

TIRED OF RUNNING STORE Refund on Bacon Complicates Matters; Half Deliveries Made Handling groceries is no ey lob, especially when the government makes a refund on certain purchases, local postoffice officials have found. They have completed deliveries of about half the orders sent by Decatur householders to the army quartermaster department in Chicago, and are looking to the time when all of the groceries will be safe In the hands of the buyers so that the work of the local "grocery store" can be finally checked up and living be made happier. Orders for Refand. After Decatur people had placed orders for 10 tons of the goods advertised by the army, calls began to come in about the time shipments would be made. These were satisfied after inquiries to Chicago and then came orders to refund the purchasers of bacon, as the market had taken a drop.

Each purchaser of $4.15 worth of bacon was refunded $1.40 as a result of this order. Then word came that the department could not supply canned cherries, beans, rice and canned soup, and every purchaser who ordered any of these was given his money back through the local office. The handling of all these details was no easy job and the postoffice officials an happy when they see one load aftc another leave the postoffice. Or wagon Is engaged every day deliver ing the goods.
