Electric Light Wires.
The Suburban Electric Light COM
pany Is stretching its wires on Main
avenue. The wires reach the West
Side fromthe central city by way Of
West Lackawannaavenue. From Main
avenue the company will supply resi-
dents Of the side streets by means Of
branch wires. The intimation that our
board Of trade would organize an cleo
'trical company on the West Side is the
cause Of the action of the Suburban
company The board had begun to So
licit subscriptions for stock in the new
company, but the Suburban people
hustled and as a result, the West Side
will soon be supplied with incandes-
cent lights. The board has dropped the
