mitsee on lights. Three proposals. were
received. embracing bids for periods of

OF the Portland Electric Light G ompany.

that the electric light company had made
combination with the gas company and
embraced proposition to furnish three
hundred Welsbach gas lights at q cost of
$50 for each light. Alderman Smith then
read the proposal of the Consolidated
Electro Light Company. The preamble
to the bid created quite sensation when

1t was seen by the bids that the Consol-
idatsd Electric Light oompany's bids for
one year was some lower than those OF
the Portland Electric Light Company,
but for period of three and five years
the bids Of the old company were some
higher than those of the Portland Elec-
trio Light Company. At the conclusion
of the reading of the bids the committee
on lights went into an executive session
and considered them for some time. They
voted finally to submit the bids as they
had been received to tine city council
without making any recommendations or
comparisons.
The bids as they were received were as
follows:
