LIGHT AS Is LIGHT
A City in the Grasp of the Electric

SAN BERNARDINO, April 1O-Another
electric deal has placed the city of San
Bernardino in the grasp of a monopoly
c. r. Lloyd, the head of the San Berna r.
dino Electric Lighting company, has made
a deal that removes the last vestige of
opposition from his path as far as this city
is concerned When he first came here tc
organize an electric company he began on
small scale, but by low bids on the city
lighting he finally froze out the old gas
and electric company, purchasing their
electric outfit. When the Redlands COM
pany proposed to come in he made deal
that kept them out.
The San Antonio company had large
trade here and was formidable competi-
tor, but during the past week the deal has
been made that removes this opposition
and the plant of the San Antonio has been
added to the others and Mr.. Lloyd now has
the field all to himself Before the latter
deal Mr.. Lloyd, or his company, the San
Bernardino Electric company, made ten
years contract with the city for street
lighting, but on all other lighting 1t is
rumored there, will be decided advance in
prices IN the near future, and 1t is thought
the city contract will be broken, which is
drawn up so 1t can easily be done. 4

FLORENCE'S CLAIM
Florence Blythe Hinckley of San Fran
cisco, through her attorney, has present
ed to the board Of supervisors of this
county claim for $40, $3.50, and thereby
hangs tale. 1t seems that in 1877 her
father, Thomas Blythe, took up as gov
ernment claims several thousand acres
of swamp lands In this county. The law
did not permit more than one section of
land to be taken up by one person, but
Blythe employed other persons to go
through the, formalities of perfecting
titles, all the tracts being subsequently
transferred to him. Blythe paid into the
treasury the sum of $1O,33O, which laid
idle for several years, until special act
OF the Legislatures empowered the super
visors to transfer the money from the
swamp. land fund to the contingent fund
of the county. There Is nowl due about
$751; 900 of delinquent taxes on the land.
The present board of supervisors is of
the opinion that the county must refund
to the heirs of the Blythe estate the
amount originally paid to the county,
which was $10,33O
