Our Water Works and Electric Light.

After many months of rambling spec
ulation and unmethodcal deliberation
by the city authorities, businesslike
conclusion has been reached.
Two or three efforts proved abortiye,
but the City Fathers having a little of
that uncOnquerable and resolute intiex-
ibility of purpose, which historians give
us an account OF in the patriotic Bruce,
they have at last arranged all the pre-
liminaries--the specifications have been
mutually accepted-agreed upon, and
Messrs. Sanders and Porter of Lou
Isvllle. KY, have contracted to put up
the water works and electric light in
this town. within five months. Moth
ing in the way of contracting remains to
be done. The gentlemen who have un-
dertaken the work k are known to be re-
liable. Our little town, SO long ob-
soon to be illuminated by the splendor
of arc lights the dwellings of many
aud the business houses of all, will pre-
sent the appearance of progressive
people. The ladies will be able to
promenade the streets without risking
the stnnping the digits of their
"!winklipg feet" Vice may find no
place of cOncealment on the thorough
fares, and all will be made more charm
ing.
In other words Opelousas may sue
cessfuly vie with other enterprising
towns in the ,lecency of its appearance.
The town of Washington having al
ready emerged, in the evolution Of
things, from Negroevil!e to Washing
ton, will soon emulate Opelousas, and
erect similar works. Her council has
already taken some action in this di-
rection, and we feel satisfied she will
not foIego her efforts, until similar
works are completed there. She has
legisIated already, and what has been
done has been we'll done.
The water works here will cost US
$22 900; the electric light, S7,S5O. The
height of the water tower will be IS
feet, with a diameter of 1S feet on the
top of this is to be a tank of 35 feet, the
total height being 1875 feet. There are
to be 40 arc lights, aud quite il number
of incandesceut lights

Our Stock in Trade.

There may be some who may demur
at the rule of the Signal to charge for
all advertising of fairs, festivals or en-
tertainments when an admission is
charged or money received, as set
forth in notice at the head of our To-
cal columns to-day, but when
they look at the matter from Il
business point of view they must admit
its business. The columns of the Sig
nal represent cash value. Its pub
Usher cannot, nor can the publisher of
any paper conducted on business prin
cpIes, afford to give advertising or
notices. free, any more than a mer-
chant can toss over the counter free
gifts of dry goods or shoes.
A newspaper is a legitimate business
institution; its columns are stock in
trade, and so far as the Signal is con-
cerned announced announcements must
be paid for, no matter in what pa,t of
the paper they appear. The manage
ment may reciprocate when courtesies
in the shape of job printing, etc, are
extended, but beyond this the rule will
be absolute. No pay or patronage, no
free advertising or reading notices of
any entertainment to which admission
fee is charged will lie given.-Crow-
ley Signal.
