Magistrate Bradley is determined to
10 what he can to break up the practice
II imposing fines in cases that have been
heard and in which the parties We're

ing to do with il. He promptly dismiss
nd it. When a case has been disposed
Of Squire Bradley does not believe in

STREET LIGHTING.
Sentiment Against Welsbach Light
Growing Every Day.
Experiment Gave Impression That
Firefies Were Being Used
for Illuminating.

Sentiment against the lighting of d
large part Of the city by gas n growing
every day. Electricity for street llgh+
ing is, III the minds of the majority Of
ill, people Of the city, most likely in the
opinion Of I'LL who have no interest in TIE
tocal gas company; superior to gas.
This has been amply demonstrated BY
experience and there should be no lasi-
tancy OH the part Of the Directors Of the
street and Sewer Department in decid
ng between Wrlshach gas lights and in
.andcscent electric lights for street light
ng purposes: Anyone who is disposed
10 dispute this assertion should hay"
aiken note Of the glouni which pervadcd
he City Hall plaza when the are light
WAS not turned on and the experiment
was made with the Welsbach light.
That experiment caused good deal
If amusement. People made jocuar re-
aarkS about the miserable light and
alked Of iireilrs being used TO illumin
tie the plaza. II was but a few days
when iii" are light WAS again turned On
md il has been kept burning every night
since for fear that people would get
oSt i'll the darkness right in front Of

Then there is the financial end of the
