Text Appearing Before Image:

The new building for the Germantown Electric Light Company, now beingerected, will contain power sufficient for 20,000 incandescent lights and 120arc lights of the Edison sj^stem. GERMANTOWN ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY. The first concert of the season given by the Germantown Orchestral Societytook place last evening in Association Hall, Germantown, under the directionof Mr. Otto L.
