rather sell the transformers to one man
and let such person he secured by the
inviduals. President Smith stated that
he would personally go the security,
which would amount to $500, the bal

satisfactory, a resolution was drawn
up and passed to purchase the trans
formers. The ordinance providing for
the bonding of 81, 600 to complete the elec-

What is meant by the completion of

the present system; also to purchas2
the transformers to be used in the COM
mprCial lighting.
