,v the Citizens Light and Transit
 Company
;or the Materials to Be Used in the Con- struction of Light Plant and
 Street Railway

The successful companies in the bidding were: The Western Electrical Supply company, of St. Louis; Gener- al Electrical Manufacturing company, of Schenectady, N. Y., and the Alfree Engine company, of Indianapolis, Ind.
 The work on the power house, which is located on West Second ave- nue, is progressing nicely and other work will begin shortly. The con- pany is going to begin other work as soon as it can ascertain that no de- lays will occur during same. The ob- ject of the company IS not to retard traffic or have any unnecessary incon- veniences.
 AS the days go by the company finds itself in better shape for the work and although it seems to the public that the new electric street railway and light plant are very slow coming, it must be considered that the arrangements preparatory to such work is no small undertaking.

COUNTY UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BOOKS UNDER THE ACT
 OF 1899. If Attorney General Murphy Is Cor. rect the Adoption in Most
 Counties Illegal.

The legislature of 1899 established county uniformity of text books in the state under local option of regula- tion. Several efforts were made by the last legislature to repeal or modi- fly the law, but all failed, and it stands as it was. There has developed an in- teresting tangle, however, over it's construction in which two attorney generals are at cross purposes, and should the construction of the present official prevail, no end of confusion would ensue. When Attorney Gener- al, now Governor Davis, was in office he held that it required only major ity of those voting on the subject to carry any county for uniformity, and based upon this decision it is said that between thirty and forty counties de clared uniformity had been adopted, and when as matter of fact, in some instances only very small per cent of the people had expressed an opin- ion upon the subject It is known that in one county only two precincts vot- ed on the question and that in those not more than fifty votes were cast, yet all but three were for uniformity which was, therefore, declared adopt ed for the entire county. This con- struction of the law is not held by Attorney General Murphy, who has given his written opinion to the effect taht majority of al the electors vot- ing at any given election is required in order to secure uniformity. His at- tention has been called to the ruling of his predecessor, but still he con tends that his position is the proper one. Just how the tangle will be strengthened out remains to be seen.
 but it is evident hat the parties de- siring to do so might annul uniformity in the counties where it has been de- clared upon mere majority of votes cast upon the subject.
