Plensed-Ncws Notes
LoNG BEACH, March S.-The excursion
lists to this place Friday were fortunate in
having for their outing one of the balmiest
and most delightful days imaginable. The
sea was as smooth as the proverbial mill
pond, and Catalina island, twenty-five
miles to the south, with its purple-clad
mountains and rugged heights, was plainly
visible in all it's grandeur. Both railroads
were we'll patronized, bringing between
them 247 visitors, while wagons and other
conveyances brought from the neighboring
towns and surrounding country at least as
many more. The bulk of the visitors were
easterncrs, on their first visit to the beach,
and their eXpI essions were OF astonlsh-
ment and pleased wonder.
The number of visitors exceeded expecta-
tions, as they kept piling in from all drec-
tions until the middle of the afternoon. 1t
is estimated that there were at least 500
strangers here.

The Mayor interviewed.

Upon interviewing Mayor Couch we find
that it was not his intention to again be
candidate for reelection, but as it was
the desire of many Of the citizens that he
would run again, he agreed not to pos
itively refuse until they made something
OF canvass, with view Of ascertaining
the wishes of the voters, having not the
slightest desire to hold the Office against
any pronounced opposition. Such can
yass was made and the reports handed in
Saturday night, showed that out Of over
1926 interviewed, nearly all heartily COM
melded his administration, and over
two-thirds expressed themselves as in
favor Of his reelection. Therefore, his
name will 60 before the caucus, Friday
night.

The Council Grants the Franchise TO the
warwick Company.

WARWICK company.
At the adjourned session Of the cOun-
Gil held Monday evening, representatives
were present from the Warwick Electric
Light Company, Of Cleveland, and about
one hundred citizens. The representa-
tive made his statement and the citizens
present voted that the council be instruct
ed to proceed and contract with the COM
pany for the lighting of the town. An
executive session Of The council was then
held and resolution was passed in favor
Of contracting with the firm for the light
ing Of the town for fifteen years,
The following is taken from the prop
osition filed with the clerk:
Gentlemen: We submit to you the fol-
lowing proposition:
We will locate our factory at Yelling
tOn and agree with you to employ on an
average Of about twenty hands and VIZ
will supply cur own building and plant
complete, purchasing the grounds there
for, provided the same can be bought al
a reasonable price. We will cOnstruc1
at our own cost a complete municipa
lighting plant and will light your streets
using in doing the same fifty arc light
and we will, in connection with saiC
plant also have an incandescent plant fO
supplying your citizens with light il
their houses and places of business. W,
will take charge of and operate this mu
nipicipal plant at our own expense
The consideration for the foregoing Offe
/ by us made shall be an agreement OF
your part TO pay to US the sum Of $3.50
per annum for supplying to you fift.
arc lights for lighting your streets, 20 b
paid in semi-annual installments Of $75
each; additional lightsabove that numbe
to be paid for at the rate of $50 per an
nun per are light, payable as befOrestiE
ulated.
The above appears to be very satisfaC
tory proposition. 1t costs the town nov
about 81, 900 for lamp service and tn
change although it costs a little more wi
be highly appreciated.
