To Come UP in Common Council This
Evening

The bids for the lighting of the
streets of Carbondalc for the coming
year. and possibly for the next three
years. will be opened by the light com
mittee of common council this evening.
The fight which has been spiritedly
waSed by the Carbondalc Gas company
to induce the councils to install gas
lamps has attracted Il good deal OF at
tention. and the outcome of the rivalry
between this corporation and the Elec-
trio Light company will he awaited
with keen interest.
The Gas company has had n half
dozen of the WcSbach lamps in oper-
alton about the city for over week.
and it is hopeful that their efficiency
has been satisfactorily demonstrated
