ON THE WAR PATH
Councilman Bucker-idge Is Going to "Buck''
the Electric Light Companies.

The next regular meeting Of the city
council will be next Monday night and
Councilman Buckeridge-surnamed the
Bucker-says that he is going to bring
the electric light companies up with a
round turn" He says they do not burn
their lights at any season Of the year as
long as he thinks their contract demands,
that is, eight hours, but on the other
hand, they do not now, burn longer than
four hours each night. He also say that
they do not burn as steadily as they
should, and that the lights are not as
strong as the contracts demand.
The pride of Mr. Buckeridge's heart
and the apple of his eye, is that modest,
yet agreeable looking light unfeel-
ing dubbed by Mr. Healy as the
Blinker Mr.. Buckeridge not only brought
the light into existence in this city,
but he has at all times, watched over it
with the tenderness of brand new
father He says, ''if the electric light com
panies don't live up to their contract, fire
'em every one off the street and put in the
blinkers. They are better than gaslights"
The city at present has the following
number Of the different kinds Of lights at
the respective prices, per annum, as
shown:
Costs
70 Electric lights a S100. 1900
l20 Gas lights a S2S ........ 1850
