LIGHT COMMITTEE TROUBLES.


The committee on lights held a meeting
yesterday afternoon which could not be
called with truth harmonious gather
ing. In the first place Alderman Smith,
chairman of the committee, presented a
number of bills for approval. Among
them were bills for the salaries of the two
light tenders on Long island, Messrs.
Woodbury. and Wallace and bills for glass
and other material These bills the com
mon council members of this committee
refused to approve. They also said they
would not approve any bills for electric
or gas lighting unless they had Il voice
In making the contracts. They decided
to ask tho city solicitors opinion as to
whether they had the right to approve
these bills or not. The city solicitor told
some of the members of this committee
that their approval of the salary bills
and bills contracted for by the alder
men was not necessary, but that they
had the power to approve other bills for
electric and gas lights. The committee
has refused to approve any bills whatever
and some people will have to walt for
their money unless the aldermen decide
to pass the matter over the heads of
the common council members OF this
committee on lights.
