Another Meeting Of City Government
Probable.
Consolidated Unwilling
to Light Half a City.
Remonstrances Against Poles on
West End Streets.

There seems to be little doubt that the
electric lighting question is In for another
session of the city government at least.
Tbs present statl of the matter Is that
the committee on lights is waiting for a
prop osition from the Consolidated Elec-
trio Light company for the lighting Of the
southsrly half of the city until the Port
land Electric Light company can get
ready to do 1t. Now IL is understood
that the Consolidated will decline to light
half the city; but will offer to light the
whole of 1t until the Portland Electric
Light company lie ready to start In with
its full service. The Consolidated also
wishes the time specified at the utset.
1t Ia understood the reason the CONSOLE
dated gives for not wishing to light the
half of the city, is because their System
Of lights is run In circuits which 20 to
and fro across the city without regard to
the line Of division established by the
city government. To change these orr
cults so as to light only half the city
would require much work and expense.
1t is understood that there will be q
strong remons.rance from West street
against the erection OF new line OF poles
there and there is quito strong senti-
ment in favor of using Welsbach gas
lights entirely rather than have more
poles.
There Is also strong sentiment of the
same sort on Emery street. and remon-
STRANGE from citizens of that street also,
is likely to be sent In.

TWO HEAVY LOADS.

A driver of local COIL team, with q
heavy load Of coal and bearing quite a
heavy load himself, created some ex cite
ment at the West End yesterday after
noon. The load of coal was for the West
End hotel and the man backed his team
up ready to unload. He looked at the
coal, then at thu hotsl, aud got on his
team and drove of again with the remark
az guess won't unload this coal today. -
The man was very much intoxicated and
Ii was wonder how he ever drove 10
the West knd without falling of his
team, but he did, however, and also
backed his team mp ready to unload.
After he drove away he had proceeded
but short way up Congress street hill
when he stopped his horse ami left the
animal stln straining with the heavy
load, while he fell In drunken sturer
on the seat and went to sleep.
Some bystanders saw the condition of
the man and in few minutes quite a
crowd had collected. Officer Quinn soon
appeared and after trigging the wheels
of the team proceeied 10 shake the man
up to get him awake. The officer took
this blanket andput 1t over the horss aud
while he was doing this the driver fell
from the seat onto the ground, where he
lay, unable to get up. A telephone mes.
sage was sent to the coal office to send
another man to take charge OF the team
and unload the coal and the drunken
driver was taken to the police station in
the patrol.
