For Two Nights Gas Jets Would
Not Give Any Light
EXPERT TELEGRAPHED FOR
To Put Everything In Order--NO More
Trouble Anticipated.

Sunday night at the hotels, Monday
night at the Legislative caucus anC-~
Tuesday night following Tallahassee
lighting system (gas) was severely
criticised by members of the Legis-
lature and those who came here to.
witness the assembling of that body
and a right good reason they had tC.
complain, too, for Monday night the-
lights went out entirely, and the other
nights were not much better.
For the information of those unfa--
milTar with the condition of things
we desire to state that Tallahassee is
no. satisfied with the present system
OF lighting, and is doing all she pos
sibly can to remedy it Our people
have voted to bond the city for s16.-
900 to be used in putting in an up-to-
date electric plant. But the Gas Com
pany, having charter covering cleo
trio lights also, applied to the Circuit
Court for an Injunction. The city
won in the Circuit Court and the gas
people appealed to the Supreme Court
of the United States, where the matter
is now tied up and perhaps will be fOI
nearly a year yet
The city is sure 20 win as soon as
the latter court reaches the case, and
then work will commence at once, for
the bonds are alrea~y sold and the
money will be forthcoming as soon as
II is needed. In the mean time we will
have to do the best we can with gas.
Believing tha the devil should have
h S dues, we wish to further say, how
ever. that the trouble this week was
unavoidable. All the experienced heIIf
was hauled off to the pest house with
small pOx one day last week, an6
Supt. Spencer vas therefore compelled
to remain on duty until broken down.
saturday night while he was taking &
little rest the inexperienced help filed
the tanks and mains with bad gas. Hs-
telegraphed to Philadelphia headuuar-
ters for good man and thinks that
from now on he will De able to keeI
good gas.
