MAY RECONSIDER IT
Matter of New Lights May

DIFFERENCE OF VIEWS
As to the Question of Rentin g
or Buying Lamps,

Yesterday there was 10 end Of talk IN
the city n regard 70 the contract Of the
city council for 20 u K II Oxygen lights.
The light question has been up tor some
time and it looked as If il had been
settled al last But yesterday the story
was on the street that Mayor Mclean
would refuse 10 sign the contract. or
would veto the measure which provided
for them.
Mayor Mclean was asked last evening
about his attitude in regard 70 the new
light lie said this: The councilmen.
ten of them. voted for the new lights.
As you know, the light question has been
ap for some time. Every councilman IN
the city has had a host Of constituents
soliciting him for lights. II was man
datory in their minds that lights should
be provided. The bids came in. The
c0urciimeu favored the II & II light.
did not; and for this reason. I figured
out that the lights would cost Us $3.50:
I added to this the cost Of their mainte-
nance for five years; from this I sub
tracted the sum il would take 10 rent
the expensive. fine Welsbach lights for
five years, and found that it would cost
US s, 400 more 70 buy and maintain the
five years NJ & II light than TO rent the
Welsbach for five years. figured that
in I'VE years time we might outgrow our
light and new improvements might come
in; that it was better to rent than TO
buy in this instance. The councilmen
and I talked the matter over. I had
my opinion; they had theirs. They were
anxious to ger The light business set
tied up finally. do not set up my judg-
ment against that OF ten councumen; but
since they have been studying the propo-
sition they have changed their minds, and
I believe the council viii reconsider the
matter at their next meeting and win
take new action.
so far as this talk Of one Kansas City
agent is concerned. that there was the
use Of money in securing the contract.
he is talking bosh. Wichita didn't want
his light; had no earthly use Tor IT, and
he IS simply sore because he didn't get
contract. The counciImen are business
men. They favored buying the lights.

that the NJ < n was the best light they
could buy, and voted that way. As is well
known, I did not coincide with them. and
I believe that when the council rehgures
on the proposition and deliber9tes again.
on this subject. they VII come to the
conclusion that for the present it is bet
ter 70 rent lights for a period OF not
over TWO years. and viii so vote"
The report that Mayor Mclean had
said he would veto the measure is not
true He has said nothing Of the kind.
Some Ct those discussing the question
yesterday were trying 70 make out that
there had been a break between the
mayor and council. There IS nothing in
this. They were working in perfect ac-
cord and the only difference over the
lights was merely one Of opinion as 20
buying or renting. II there was any
mistake. it was haste in supplying the
demand out in the wards for more and
better lights.
