The Board of Aldermen Determine to
Have Light and to Issue Bonds.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
held special meeting Wednesday
evening 20 hear the report of the COM
mittee appointed on the question of
lighting the city and amending the
charter. The committee was COM
posed of w. A. Ruttle, Chairman,
r. J. Rea and j. B. Ashton.
They stated that they had adver-
tised for plans and specifications for
the erection of an electric light
plant for the city, and also for bids
to light the city for five years. The
only bids put in were for the erection
of a plant. There were no bids to
furnish lights for the city, the
proposition of the Columbia Water
and Light Company to furnish 40
arc lights at $4,000 per light having
been withdrawn. From bids re-
ceived and through correspondence,
the committee found that it would
cost $4,000 to erect such system of
electric lighting as they could
recommend. This amount would
buy a complete outfit necessary to
operate a 60 light, 20OO candle power
dynamo and 200 incandescent, lG
candle power dynamo of the best
make and fully guaranteed.
The committee were satisfied
after making a canvass of the city
that 800 incandescent lights could be
placed, the revenue from which
would pay the operating expenses OF
the plant and the interest on the in
vestment. The committee conclud'
ed its report by recommending thai
the city purchase and erect plant
After some discussion the report OF
the committee was unanimously
concurred in, and the committed
was continued with instructions tC
purchase the necessary machinery
and electric apparatus for the cree
tion of the plant.
The committee on charter amend
ments reported, recommending th'
following amendments:
To give the city power to own
build and operate an electric Ign
plant and water works system an(
to issue bonds for the samei u
issue bonds to fund its outstanding
indebtedness to give the city rlg,h
to assess it's own taxes and to de
termine the mode and manner o
collecting the same, ETC.; to alloy
Aldermen compensation not exceed
ing $3.50 for each meeting night, AM
to committees, not exceeding SoU'U
per annum, but this present Boar
is not to receive any dement's iron
this change; and to relieve the GU
marshall of the duty OF street over
seer. The city attorney, James 4
Smiser, Esq, was directed to emoou
these amendments in an ACT an
present the same to the legislator
for passage.
