4 Pointer on Electric Lights and

Alexandria Town Talk:
I'VE notice in the proceedings of the
city council of Monloe. Published In -
recent issue of the News, that in six
1897, the city OF Monroe paid for water
for fire purposes and for lighting the
streets, S3,32O5G. This is nearly as
much in SIX months as Alexandria has
to nav in year, and another fortunate
thing for AleXantiria Ia that all the pay

Of the same papel il the following:
"The police Try before adjonrnlne
today was visi,fd by a committee OF

Jury that all the license money collected
this year from til sale of liquors within
the corporate limits of Alexandria be
turned over to the treasurer of the
town for the purpose of helping to pay
for the electric light aud waterwork:
plants. The police jury, after'hearlne
arguments from Hon. }. G.. Ryan anC
others, in favor OF the proposition

about $4,000. The police jury, in max,

this way: With Alexandria owning hel
