INDEPENDENCE.
and City Clerk Asks Tor
Bids.

The contracts with the gas and electric
light companies for lighting the streets OF
the city have expired and City Clerk Sui
Ivan has been instructed to ask for bids
for future lighting. During the past year
the city has paid the electric light COM
rany 1866 for twenty-three lights. h
gas company's contract with the city calls
for s76S. making a total of $2.4S4 paid by
the city during the past twelve months
for lights. Some Of the members Of the
council are inclined to retrench in the
cost of street lights. 1t is said mat the
city of Warrensburg pays but $500 for
thirty arc lights, which burn all night.
Under the present contract the electric
lights In this city do not burn after mid
night, and the gas lights are put out at
/ o'clock. A mass of information on the
cost of municipal lighting Is being secured
and will be considered by the council be-
fore contracts are let.
A St. Louis firm offers to sell the city
eli electric lighting plant complete for
Sc per cent of the first cost. The proposed
bargain is said to be the result of a con-
solidation of light companies Of ST. Louis.
A representative of the company was in
the city yesterday.
