Only ONE BID RECEIVED
GAS LIGHT COMPANY TENDERS BID
FOR LIGHTING AND HEATING
CITY HALL
NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
City Hall and Court House Commits
sion Postponed Consideration
of the Sid for One Week
A Lower Estimate.

The joint city hall and court house
commission held a meeting yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of awarding
the contract for heating and lighting the
city hall and court house, but adjourned
without taking any action. There was
only che bid received and that was from
the St Paul Gas Light company which
offered to furnish the heat, lighting and
power at the following terms:
If awarded the contract for one year
they agreed TO furnish the light for
5000, heat for $500, and power for the
elevators for $1,000.
If awarded the entire contract for one
year they would do it for $4,000
On Il two-year contract the company
offered to furnish light for $4,000 a year,
heat for $1,000 a year, and the power for
$500 a year, or if awarded the entire
contract for the two years, would do it
for $l5,GC0 per year.
For a three-year contract they would
furnish light for $4,000, heat for s., 900 ard
power for $1,000 per year. If the COM
mission should see fit to give the COM
pany three-year contract, to furnish
the entire light heat and power, they
would do it for $4,000 a year
This bid is over 81, 900 more than the
bid three years ago, but President Lath-
rop OF the company stated that the in
crease was due to the rise in the price
of coal.
On motion of Commissioner Quehl, the
bid was received and discussion on it
adjourned until next Friday afternoon at
8 o'clock
Il. H. Montgomery, who was formerly
chief engineer for the city, reported TO
the commission that he estimated the
old plant in the Jail could be made serv-
iceable by spending $3.50 in repair work
on the machinery of same; this would
require about twenty or twenty-five
days.
Mr.. Montgomery estimated that the
heat and power for the elevators cou j
be furnished for $4,000 per year, and
that the extra cost for electric lights
would only amount 20 what the lamps
cost, and the machinery. 1t would re-
Quire two new dynamos to furnish the
light, but these he said could be pur-
chased for about 81 800.
In its bid, the Gas company stated that
If at any time during the time of the
contract, the power for the elevators was
changed to electricity, reduction of
$1,000 per year would be made on the
bid. A certified check for $4,000 accom-
panied the bid.

Speaking of the annual exodus of Chi

Many, If not most of those who are
going home, travel by the Canadian
line, although rates from Seattle are
considerably lower than those prevailing
at Vancouver This is because they
prefer not to travel on steamers con-
trolled by Japanese, as one of the main
lines running out of Seattle is.
Another funny thing is that all of

whether they intend to return or not
These certificates all bear photographs
of the returning man, but, they are all
so near alike that it is an easy mat

the certificate is returned by a China
