OPINIONS OF THE eOusCILMES
Regarding the Electric Lights Mr..
Lteweiiyn Proposes to Ereet-TheY
Dent all Agree.

In order to give the readers OF the
LEpaEs an idea OF how the Council
stands on the electric light question,
a reporter interviewed that body this
morning. with the result following
j, J.. Winseott; Il shall not ex-
press myself" But after taking =
second thought, he said I'm eager
for electric light, but the question
which bothers me is, where is the
money 10 come froms l wish some
OF these fellows who object 30 much
to the Council knew something Of it's
inside workings. If We had the
money | would favor lights at the
northeast aud southeast II of
the square. al the Jail and at the City
Hall. / would vote for Mr., Lew
ellyn's proposition il We had the
money
Jas. +. Bnnton: II want light,
but won't vote for q light at the
Windsor. l favor Mr.. Llewellyn's
original proposition. l think a light
at the Jail would light to the depot,
churches and the Windsor Hotel"
M. y. Duncan: Il favor electric
light, and think Mr.. Llewellyn's
original proposition Il good one, and
think it would be of great benefit to
the city, but rather than have no
light, l would vote for the proposition
embracing the Windsor light l have
always favored light"
C. Ras sdale: ~ am in favor of
light because the majority of the
heavy tax payers favor it. The
citizens residing in the Windsor
Hotel block are heavy tax payers,
and when they ask for a light 1 think
tLey should have 1t. Iwant lights at
the northeast and northwest corners
of the square, at the City Hall, and
at the Windsor corner"
j. w. Pratt favors light but thinks
the city can't afford to take it now.
1t Vas impossible to find Council
man Jones, hence we cannot publish
that gentleman's opinion regarding
the establishment of electric light.

While at the former fort the dau shter. then

Railroad Traffic Troubles,

CHICAGO, Sept Sat the meeting Of
the western railroad general managers to-
day the reorganization of the western
freight pool was taken up. The Wabash
agreed that it would not stand in the way
of formation of new pools if the period
which percentage awards had to stand was
changed from one year to six months,
which point was conceded. The Missouri
Pacific demanded that instead of being sub
sidized as in the past, it should be admitted
as regular party to the agreement, and
not merely as a member of one Of the local
pools. No decision was arrived at on this
point, nor as to whether the balances due
the old pools should be settled
by arbitration. The main stumbling
block in the way of compromise is the
refusal of the Chicago aud Northwestern
to put its live stock traffic west of Valen-
tine. Neb., in the range cattle pool. Its
