Half a mile front one of _ the giant towers of the electric grid in Norfolk is a country village which lias its own power station and supplies electric current to some fifty cottages. The village is Ticbwell, and for years it has been producing its electric current from an oil engine and dynamo and battery of accumulators. Unfortunately the battery is almost worn out and cannot last much longer. The enterprising little place is fhu« faced with the problem of either renewing its own liny plant or bowing to the superiority of the vast electric grid.
