At this mornings meeting Of the
Street and Sewer Department the bill
Of the Wilmington City Electric Light
Company for the month Of July,
amounting TO sS.O7667S, was held up.

partment, but the excuses made have
proved unsatisfactory. The reasons
given are crooked carbons." lights
did not start. carbon dropped over,
etc. These reasons have been given
on several occasions, and in the opin-
ion Of the directors the lights are not
given proper attention
President Simmons said this morn.
ing: "fhe city is paying for good ser
vice and il ought TO have IT, Nv,

they look after the lamps and the,
