Mayor Bergman has shown most
commondable disposition to furnish
every facility for furnishing lights for
the city of Astoria, by promptly sign
ing the ordinance calling for bids. The
city viii now proceed to solicit bids
for the supply OF from fifty to sixty
i've arc lights Of not less than 1900
candle-power at a specific maximum
rate OF $500 per light per month. The
people of Astoria are anxious that the
lighting question be definitely settled.
one way or another The action of
the council and OF Mayor Bergman win
no doubt bring the matter to a focus
without much delay. The maximum
rate Of $500 per light fixed by the
council precludes the probability of
the West Shore Mills Company entering
the contest unless 1t shaves its former
figures enormously. Should the COM
pany stand firm on its original prop
osition some outside concern will secure
the plum unless the city decides to
inaugurate a plant of Its own, 1t is
the general opinion, however, that the
West Shore Mills Company. finally be-
ing convinced that the councilmen will
not permit the taxpayers to be held up
under its extortion, win submit to the
inevitable and put in a reasonable BID.
