ANAf1fIlM, NOV. ZS.-CRegular COrre-
spondence.) The electric light PROPOSE
tion in this city Is still an unsolvcd
problem. The work that has been done
by the contractors so far is very unsat-
isfactory, and tho end seems to be a
long way off. A new engine has been or
dered and is now probably on the way,
to take the place Of the one now on hand
but that alone will not put the plant in
condition. The alternator furnished by
the contractors, as we'll as the boiler
feed pumps and the oil pump, are of no
use and will have to be replaced and
other changes of minor Importance will
have to be made. Altogether the pros
pect for speedy completion Of the plant
Is not at all bright. The contractors
have been notified to finish up the work,
but notification does not seem to be of
much advantage in getting anything
done. The city has engaged Mr.. Byers
Of Los Angeles to run their plant, as
city engineer, vice j. p. des Oranges, re-
signed, at salary of $50 per month.
