LITIGATION that the congressional committee
on appropriation has reported the follow

1t is inferred from the fact that as the
appropriation committee has reported
these items, that there is every probability
that they will all pass the house as re-
ported.
The last night for the bridge and its
approaches would seem to indicate that
the committeeman have concluded that the
obnoxious toll bridge bin win not pass
congress, and hence the necessity for an
appropriation.
The item for the commencement OF a

The communication was received
! A second communication was received
from the Rock Island Electric Light Com
pany as follows:
We offer and agree to light the streets
of the city within its corporate limits, dur
ing the term of five yerrs by electric light,
| furnishing twenty lamps for such purpose,
equivalent to 10000 candle power or 1850
gas lights of the kind now contracted for
in said city, which win be Tin round mum
bers) ten times the amount of illumination
now received by the streets of said city
from gas and naptha lamps combined.
Said twenty lamps to be placed upon
nine towers. Eight towers to be not less
than seventy feet high, located under the
than one hundred and twenty five
feet high and one tower to be not less
supervision of committee of the city
council.
The lighting to be done upon the sched-
ule, known as the Philadelphia time table.
In addition thereto, we agree to
light said streets all dark and
stormy moonlight nights, when ordered by
the mayor to do so without extra charge.
As compensation for such lighting we
ask the sum of 81 300, in lawful money,
per annum, payable in equal monthly in
stallments. We also ask the right to
erect and maintain poles and towers. and
put wire thereon for electric lighting pur-
poses.
If this proposition be accepted by your
honorable body, it is to take effect and
commence at such time within ninety days
after such acceptance, as the company be-
gin to illuminate said city under contract.
The company also agrees to give the city
any reasonable bonds indemnifying it
against loss or damage caused by or grow
ing out of the stri ngiug of wires for light
ing purposes.
This was also received, and action
thereon was deferred.
The select committee of the council,
consisting of Lundy, Mott and O.Neil, to
whom was referred the propositions for
lighting the city submitted by the Gas and
Electric Light companies, reported that they
were unable to agree on a report recon-
mending the acceptance of either PROPOSE
ton, because of the decided difference of
opinion entertained by the different mem
bers as to the relative merits of the propo-
