Whereas, the Republican members Of the
Board of Aldermen. after said appointment

dill tory actions of the Republicans. which
tend TO delay the advancement OF the city;
and DO IL
Resolved, That we favor the erection OF
lighting plant owned by the sity, In order
that we may be freed from the grasp OF an
impudent and greedy monopoly.
1t will be seen that the voters also favor
the establishment OF q municipal lighting
plant.
The caucuses were well attended and
were very harmonious.
In the First Ward Mayor Carroll made
a short address, rehearsing the troablc In
