would give US hirdlore in the place

of these are occasionally used al

Senator GiIkrson was right when he
said the two leading papsrs in Wheeling,
in advocating the Electric Light bill,
correctly represent the feelings OF a
m9jority Of the people. There are diff
ferences Of opinion regarding the pro.
priety Of the city furnishing private
consumers with the electricity, but upon
the main proposition that the city should
b. permitted to own its own plant and
b, free to select it's own system, there is
p actically no division outside OF those
who arc personally interested. Senator
Whitaker was mistaken when he stated
that the covert aim of the bill was to
"strike down some of Wheeling's best
c,uzens through malice" That charge
il sweeping in its effect, as it alleges ma
licious motives on the part Of large
minority Of the citizens Of Wheeling who
sincerely and earnestly desire that the
clty's streets be lighted by electricity,
and that the city shall do the lighting.
They advocate this solely because they
believe the city can furnish the cleo.
tricity cheaper than private concern
would do it, as in the case Of gas, and
not because they desire to see any phi
yate enterprise crushed out.
