MAYOR HOLLOWAY when in Chicago
last week, purchased the ten street
lamps ordered by the city council,
which have arrived They are of a
different kind from the one on the post
office corner, and it is claimed they are
an improvement on those and cost
less money. The lamps they first in
tended to purchase were of an auto
matte continuance gagged to burn six,
eight, or ten hours and cost ten dollars
each. while those purchased are similar
in construction, but can be gagged to
burn any length of time and cost only
six dollars each. Those who have seen
the latter pronounce them superior to
the others. 1t is thought large num-
Der of individual property holders will
purchase lamps of this kind and erect
them in front of their residences and
places of business throughout the city,
and all such erected the city will light
free of charge. A special meeting OF
the City Council will be held on Thurs
day evening of this week fer the pur-
pose of deciding where the new lamps
shall be erected.
