New Power Plum' Crocbf' Dam Munivijml Building Kaukauna Power Plant The municipal power plant of this city has attracted nation-wide attention. At one time, we were able to boast that Kaukauna had the lowest rates for electricity of any city in the country. Until 1910, the electric light plant belonged to the Kaukauna Gas Electric Light and Power Company. At this time, the rate commission directed the company to give the city better and proper service. In December, 1910, the City of Kaukauna decided in a special election, by a vote of 544 to 52, to buy the electric plant. From that date on, Kaukauna began to be recognized as having one of the best managed electric light and power plants in the United States. The period of expansion came soon after the city took control, and Kaukauna now supplies power to a large part of the farm population surrounding the city, and also several of the near-by cities. A plant was erected by the city at Croche Dam near Wrightstown. Last summer a new plant in the city was completed, and replaced the old plant which had been in use for many years. The revenue derived by the city from these plants has helped considerably in reducing the tax money spent. The Municipal Building was built largely from these profits. In December, 1928, the city suffered a severe loss when Jay Possen died. He had managed the power, light, and water plant for ten years and was widely known for his success. He was succeeded by Herbert Weckwerth, who is now managing the plant very successfully. Kaukauna is one of the leaders in the League of Wisconsin Municipalities, and we owe a great deal to those unselfish citizens residing in Kaukauna who have made this triumph possible.
