On tEe matter in hand we have

investigated the subject as thoroughly
as is posaf BILE. to fulfill or duty to our
associatious. and to the city and the

great importance. and our people hav-
ing become necessarily so much inter
ested in the question. and there being
40 much improvement in the matter
of lighting in other cities aud villages
ir2Nonr state.
We find Mankato TO be, without
5oubt the poorest lighted citv of it's
sfzp and pretensions anywhere, both as
Ia the number of lights used and the
yd1alitv thereof but in the matter of
fbst in said lights she occupies a
prominent place on the top round of
me ladder. The last ten years has seen
gfeat improvements made in cleo
5rical and gas producing machinery
md the cost of producing electrical
Energy and the manufacture of gas has
been reduced about one-half by, the
