1t seems as though our wrothy Coun-
Gil were taken with spasm OF economy
at present. In reference to the electric
light question it may be wise move on
the part of the Council to investigate the
matter, but we doubt the wisdom of
adopting it at present. We are not in
terested either in electric light plants or
gas plants, but the Hillsboro Gas Co.
not only furnishes gas for our public
streets, but also for the private use of a
number of our families and at a price
that was considered reasonable by the
Council of two years ago. Prices of coal
and labor have changed very little since.
Now should the Council authorize the
establishing of an electric light plant in
this place for public use, the question
will quickly arise, How are the private
dwellings to be supplied with light ?
Will the Gas Company be able Ito say
nothing of their willingness) to manu-
facture at present prices for private use
only? Let the facts be looked at from
both sides, and not be too economical at
public expense.

says that he will not live at the Infirm-

Superintendent, but that he will go to
work and make his own living hereafter.
As most of the inmates at the Infirmary

be to the county if they would all take a

bread by the sweat of their brows than
to receive it through the hands Of Re-
