THERE'LL BE LIGHT.
The City Council Ready to Get the
New Dynamos.
NO INJUNCTION IN THIS CASE.

Am Improvement i'm City Lighting
to Which No Topeka Fossil Seems
TO Object.
A meeting was held last night at the
council chamber under a call from the
committee on lights of the city council
for the purpose of discussing the bids
for the new electrical apparatus. Coun-
cilmen Stevens and Burgess were the
only members of the council absent.
The meeting was informal and was not
called to order. City Attorney Bird made
the only talk which attracted any alton
ton. He said:
II am in favor of closing down the
electric light plant The council is not
compelled to light the streets, and it
might be a good idea to let the lighting
GO We need the money to repair the
old bridge, and these folks that are op-
posed to the new one might do without
light for awhile just to see how they
like it."
"Let's cut off the street force too"
said Councilman Frank Stevens. Let
the people who don't want bridge waos
in the mud, for we will have to use the
money to keep the old bridge in repair"
ut is beyond my comprehension" said
Councilman Elliott, ''why any one in the
city should be opposed to the bridge"
"Speaking of new dynamos-" inter-
rupted Councilman Skinner.
II tell you we are not going to have
any new dynamos," said City Attorney
Bird.
The committee on lights, composed of
Councilmen Elliott, Drew and Pattison
then put their heads together and held
little conference in a really serious man
ner.
uperintendent John Marshall of the
city electric light station talked to the
committee in whisper. He told them
that the dynamos were now inadequate
and were badly worn and it was only a
question of a very short time when they
would give out altogether.
The committee said that they consid-
cred it advisable to purchase three 100
light dynanos and 800 lights. The
capacity of the present dynamos is 100
lights, though there are 1874 on the cir
cult. The new dynamos will give 65 adj
ditional lights which are to be used to
replace the gasoline lamps now in use
in the suburbs.
The Vapor Light company which fur
nishes the gasoline lamps is paid $1,000
a year, and that amount will be used to
make the first payment on the new dy-
namos which will cost in the neigh bor-
hood of $4,000 The second payment
will be made next year and the new
equipment will be paid for with the
money that would be paid to the Vapor
Light company, and SO the cost will not
be felt.
1t will not be necessary to put in new
boilers, but one IS horse power engine
will probably be added, though that has
not yet been fully decided.
The improvements in the Plant will
the city engineer will make surveys ear
ly next week to determine just how much
wire and how many poles it will be nee
essary to buy.
After this is done advertisements for
the machinery and equipment required
will be made and the contract let by bid
ding.

OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN.



"The children got into a fight, and Mrs.
Ruppe was knocking my children down."
said William Banfield of 500 Chandler
street this morning. 81 was upstairs and
l come a running down but she had
stopped then, and all her throwing BRICK
bats and stones was over"
What did you do?"
Nothing"
This is Banfield's extremely likely
version of a neighborhood quarrel He
was arrested yesterday afternoon for dis
turbing the peace and will stand trial
this afternoon. These two families have
taken their quarrels into police court
more times than the police force has
fingers and toes.
None of the children of the Banfeld
family go to school, and two of them
who are nine or ten years old do not
know how to read. They ara growing
up in ignorance. This is one of the in
stances where the children, for their own
COED, would be better taken from their
parents. Several Indiana citias had a
law providing that this should be done in
certain cases, and it worked to great ad :
vantage, but it was declared "unconsti-
tutional,"
