THE LIGHTING CONTRACT.
n Looks AZ tn sugh the sfd OF censsi
idated Company Was Made Toe Late.

It's probable that meeting Of the
City Council win be called for next We'd
nesday evening TO consider the PROPOSE
tlon OF the Consolidated Electric Light
company to furnish lights for the next
year. Il would seem according 10 the
contraes OF the Portland klectric Light
company with the city that this propo-
sition OF tins Consolidated company has
been made too late 30 take effect this
year. The city's contract with the Port
land Electric Light company Re for nys
years. IL provides that the contract may
be cancelled by the city ut the end OF one
or three years In the following manner;
II at the expiration OF one or OF three
years the city desires TO cancel this con-
tract IL may do so by vote of the city
council and by giving the president OF
the Portland Electric Light company,
Its manager, or by leaving nj It's plnce
or business an attssted. copy OF this vote
at least 30 days prior TO the expiration OF
the first year OF the contract or before
the expiration OF the three years Of the
contract
Inc oonkEaot WIN tne Fuftf1na oom-
pany is dated October 70, 1859. and 10
went into effect with the city according
to the official document December 1.
1899. It Will be seen that it h now I'm
possible for the city council to give 30
days notice Of Its intention Go cancel
the contract before the first year of the
contract IL ended and 20 It would seem
that the bid of the Consolidated compa
ny is just nttls too late 10 be acted up
on,
The facts given above are only those
appearing In tins official contract with
the city. It may be that there n some
way OF getting around this provision OF
a 80 days' notice. but whsn the atten-
ton of several OF the aldermen was
called to this matter yesterday afternoon,
1t seemed to them that the terms OF the
contract were SO explicit that there Is
no way OF considering the Consolidated
company's contract this year.
The Portland daily press., 1900-11-16

next year will see big stride in this
direction and much of the land which
Is now lying Idle win contain perma-
nent homes and add much TO the valu
alton OF our growing city. There is talk
OF putting some OF the fine land owned
by several OF our people on the market
in the near future, and II this is done 1t
will add much to the beauty OF the place
and we will soon be a thickly populated
city and we can then look for all the
improvements and facilities that is 40
corded other places in the way Of sewerage
systems, electric lights. free rural deliv-
cry and many other accessories which go
