The m embers of the Light and Water
| Commission are wrestling with the question
of more revenue. The town is bonded for
$32, 900, $4,000 on account of water and
$4,000 on the light plant. The two plants
| combined are meeting the running expenses,
but the interest on the debt and the debt it.
self must be provided for. There is a pro
position to put meters on the lights so that
the consumers shall pay for just what they
get. There is evidently a great waste in
the use of light in the town and the saving
of that needless waste would more than
meet the money demands of the Commis-
sion. The question is shall that waste be
saved in the consumption of less coal or
shall direct tax be laid on the town to
meet the demand. The full capacity of the
plant is about HOO lights and about that
number has been contracted for. On Jan.
18th the members of the Commission had
a record taken Of the work of the plant to
test the consumption of coal. The result
was something of a revelation. 1t proved
that over 600 of the HOO lights are burned
all night and that the average of each light
Is seven and half hours night. This is
evidently waste of fuel. for the burning
of every light means so many more
pounds of coal consumed. The furnaces
average two and a-quarter tons day the
year around. Less light means less coal or
less expense. The TRANSCRIPT uses thirteen
lights and in the shortest winter days they
do not average over two and half hours,
or not more than one-third of the full aver
age. The TRANscR1 1PT is evidently paying
for lights for other parties. needless lights
that the use of meters would cut off. Why
should notthe Light and Water and Com
mission take the people into their confidence
in this matter, setting forth the exact con-
dition of the plants, the revenue and the
demands2

A Jury Secured for the walllne Trial.

NEWPORT, Ky, May 2s.-At 11:2O
Thursday morning the Walling jury
was completed by the selection of
James O. Ware, -four and feed dealer
of Newport. The jury was at once
sworn in by the clerk of court. The
court then adjourned to $3.50 Friday
morning.
Alonzo Walling was not SO cheerful
when he was brought into the court
room Thursday morning. The strain
has begun to have some effect upon
him. The source of his worriment is
the frequent decided EXPRESSIONS OF
opinion as to his guilt, which have
been given during the examination for
jurors.
Col. Lockhart said to reporter that
the lawyers have agreed to abridge
much of the old evidence which was
heard in the jackson trial. Both sides
are anxious for Walling's hearing to be
as speedy as possible.
