| line street lighting question in Deering
| promises to develop into an unusual
situation and into serious litigation. The

keep right on lighting the streets till
the five years expire and will then take
legal proceedings to collect the payment
for the same from the city. In this case

years, of course they take the risk OF get
ting paid for it and they impose upon
the city the risk of having to pay for two

1t is understood that the Marsh Broth
ers claim that they can bring just as
many witnesses to testify that their light
ing has fulfilled the conditions of the con-
tract, as the city can bring to testify that
it has not.
