ABOUT RLEorR1C LIGHTING.

THE TIMES desires to carefully and
fairly discuss matter, which, at the
present moment, is of great Importance
to Roanoke. We refer to electric light
ing. On that subject two points need
to be emphatically stated.
First. The business section of the
city is almost unit for electric lights.
Second. The Gas and Water Company
will not stand upon any rights, real or
alleged, which it may have for the
exclusive lighting of the streets. 1t is
liberal and progressive company, con-
trolled by liberal and progressive men.
tits not opposed to electric lights.
Roanoke ought to have an electric
lighting system for it's whole business
area. An arc light is the cheapest
policeman city can have. Crime and
disorder fear it's glare. 1t is contribu-
tor to the comfort and convenience of
every citizen.
But the city should make sure before
grantingea franchise that it is going to
get the best service obtainable at the
lowest price and under the most favor
able conditions. The ordinance passed
by Council Monday night seems to be
defective in anumber of particulars.
1t allows the contractor the profits Of
the business, which promise to be large,
and yet in case of purchase within five
years allows an additional six per cent
interest on his investm ent, while making
no deduction for deterioration OF plant.
and no provision for an appraisement Of
the plant by disinterested parties.
While the price of the lights to the
city is low, there is nothing fixing the
price to be charged private users They
need protection as much as the city.
No provision is made to insure the
maintenance Of the plant at the high
est standard, yet electric science is
rapidly advancing and any year may
SEQ the whole business revolutionized
by new discoveries
There are no restrictions as to the
character of wire to be used; no me-
chanical safeguards even suggested.
The whole business is too open.
There is no restriction as to transfers
of the contract to third parties without
the consent of Council.
There seems to be no provision for a.
greater number of lights than 100, or
the price for the excess number.
The whole subject seems to be
loosely drawn and handled. 1t is too
important a matter to be disposed of
without the moat careful consideration
and the most thorough hair-line con-
tract which can be ,contrived.
Roanoke wants an electric lighting
system, but it cannot afford to do bust.
ness in fog or on Jug handle plan.
Council ought to have chance of try
ing that ordinance again.

Argument for Good Roads.

One fact lo6;bs up very prominently
rejecting the advantages to the country
from the work done on Tygh hill this
year, and that is this: Heretofore, at
threshing time, farmers would rather
not thresii their wheat in the Wamic
region, than to pay cash for it. They
said to threshers take your pay in grain
or wA don't thresh. This year it is di-
recttythe opposite of this. And further
more, 70 haul from. that. region to The
Dalles IRas practically out of the ques-,
ton. Now the roundabout twenty-one
miles via. Sherers grade is dispensed
with andshe country from which The
Dalies never got a load of wheat BEFORE.
