NEAR SUDDEN DEATH.


Missoula, Aug. 21.-The Higgins ave-
nue. improvement came near to sud
den death tonight. but was finally
granted a further lease of life by the
aldermen. 1t is in an unsettled condi-
tior. but may switch around The
citv council held an interesting adjourn
ed meeting tonight. Aldermen Nc
Bride, Logan and GreenOugh were alb
sent. Mr.. Logan is in Butte, Mr.. Nc
Bride is at his camp on the Lolo, and
Mr.. Greenough left here this afternoon
for Spokane. The other aldermen We're
all present and ready for business.
There was plenty of work on hand. and
the aldermen We're evidently ready for
It.
When the roll had been called, Mayor
Webster called for the report of the
electric light committee. This report
was presented by Alderman HerZog.
1t recommended that no contract be
entered into for longer period than
five years; that the clerk be instruct
ed to advertise for bids for furnishing
the city with lights for periods of
three and five years, and that the min
imum number of lights be increased
from 20 to %. "his report was adopt
ed without opposition, and bids will
be received until Oct. q Alderman Her
Zog, who is chairman of the light COM
mittee, concurred in the report but

as follows:
We would further recommend the
appointing of a special committee if
not the regular light committee to con-
slider and submit to the council on or
before Oct 81. rate of charges to be
used by the electric light company of
Missoula for commercial lighting"
The question arose as to the power
of the council to regulate the charges
for private lighting. but the city attor-
ney said that it could be done. He said
that the same thing is done by other
cities in the state. and he thought that
Missoula could do it. While the matter
was being investigated the considera-
ton of the report was postponed.
The mayor then called for bids upon
the Higgins avenue improvements. The
clerk read nine bids, as follows: It.
