the companp which can furnish it in the
shortest time, at the lowest price per light
and, under the ordinance, with the fewest
conditions thereto. If the Wheeling Elec-
trio Company is willing to come in and ask
20 questions as to who else they shall COM
pete with and name a reasonable price per
light, they should be admitted If the
Construction Company can compete with
them, let them come, too, and stand their
