The fire and water committee met yes

II Superintendent L. b. Youngs, of the
unskr and light department. Mr. Youngs'

n bids Of the two electric companies be
arcrpsed, and that the contract Of the gas
aorupany be increased from no lights to 140

The committee considered the bids In de-
ta 1t was remarked that no bid had
been received from the Snoquaimie Falls

Mr. Youngs recommended that instead Of
Is candle power incandescent lights, the
city should have 30 candie-powee lights A,
present the city IL paying for 572 incandes-

In addition Superintendent Youngs rec
