The Board of Public Works failed to
take final action yesterday on the proposed
discontinuance of street sweeping, street
%sprinkling and 500 electric lights. Chair
man Sahm said the board had not decided
what electric lights could best be dispensed
with, therefore deferred action for a few
Gays. out, 1T is said, the reason the board
failed to do as ii threatened was the fact
that an ordinance was to be introduced in
the Council, which was done last night. and
IL the money is appropriated there will be
