entitled to milage for each prisoner,

sheriff brought suit, as expected, fling |

The electric li7ht contract runs out !

far as they go, some of the mem bers of
the committee will probably favor four or
six more lights about town, about rs fol-
lows: One on upper Convent street;
another on upper Stone avenue; another
at Stone avenue and Alameda street,
and another say on lower Main street.
The city would then be thoroughly |
lighted. The changes Will probably de-
pend on favorable rates with the illumi-
nation company.
