COUNCILS Want
that LIGHT CONTRACT
Voted Down Motion to Make a Three
OF Five Year One for City Hall and
Hose Houses-Contract Divided.

AS forecasted in The Tribune few
days ago, councils in joint session last
night adopted the light committees re-
port. recommending awarding the con-
tract for lighting the city building to
the Carbondale Gas company and the
lighting of the two hose houses to the
Lackawanna Valley Electric Light
company. The ordinapces awarding
the contract will now go through coun-
ellis in regular order.
Mr.. Humphrey wanted a contract for
three or five years for the purpose of
getting lower rates He could not see
the necessity for readvertising every
year.
His motion was opposed by Mr.. Sahm,
who based his argument on the be-
lief that the city would get better SER
vice by not having a long contract. He
had sufficient supporters to vote down
the motion, the vote against the longer
contract being eight to seven, as fol-

A FEARFUL EXPERIENCE.
Manager Clock, of the Postal Com
pany, Terribly Shocked by Live
Wire, While Climbing Pole.

Manager Fred Clock, of the Postal
Telegraph company's local office, was
fearfully shocked yesterday by being
informally introduced to live wire.
The effect was shock that vibrated
through every muscle and fibre of one
side of his body, temporarily reducing
him to terribly weakened condition.
Mr.. Clock had his fearful experience
in front of John Gubert's store, Salem
avenue and Church street. His mission
was to adjust some of his company's
wires To do this, 1t was necessary to
climb tall pole. which he mounted by
means of spikes. The fifth of the spikes
on one side OF the pole is touched by
a passing wire of the electric light
company. The insulation of the wire
has worn off where it rests on the step,
and when Clock unsuspectlngly took
hold to assist In climbing to the top, he
received a,terrible shock.
He felt that the grip of ten thousand
men had hold of his arm. The muscles
fairly danced, then twisted and danced
again, alternating with more twists
that came and went with the speed of
the views of the picture machines. Mr..
Clock was I'm agony and in his terrible
distress he yelled aloud. His scream
was so piercing that it was heard in
stores down the block and drew the
occupants to the doors, wondering who
was in his death throes. Not only his
arm, but all of his body responded to
the force of the alternating current. 1t
has often been the experience of line
men so shocked that they are held so
tightly to the object which is charged
that they cannot leave go. Clock was
In this way for minute, but the posi-
tion he was in seemed to give him
leverage, by which he released himself
BY the time he descended the pole, he
was exceedingly weak, though he ral-
lieHluite rapidly. He was going to re-
mount the pole. but decided to aban-
don the task for the day, at least. He
was able to continue at work, after a
rest, though his arm was stiff and re-
quired constant exercising for some
time to arouse circulation.

BILL IS GOOD CLAIM.
City Solicitor stuart's Opinion with
Reference to Light Contract,

AT last nights meeting of select
council. the bill for street lighting for
May, which was held up in committee,
pending an opinion of City Solicitor
Stuart, was ordered paid. by both
branches, after the following opinion
from the city solicitor had been read:
validity of the claim of the Lackawanna
Valley Electric Light and Power Supply
company for light furnished during the
month of May last as shown by their bill
of May 81, 1902, | would say that | see
no reason why said bill is not valid
claim against the city under that con-
tract now existing between said company
and the city. entered into in the early
part of the year. I am informed that a.
question was raised as to the validity
of the contract by reason of the con-
tract providing for a term of three years,
beginning April l. 1901. The contract pro-
viding for the lighting of the streets
went into effect when the ordinances
providing for said contract became law.
The fact that the contract was not for
mally put into writing and signed at that
time does not make it the less an eX-
listing contract. and the company could
recover for the service performed accord
ing to the terms of 1t.
An objection might be made to that
part of the service rendered between
April l, 1901, and the time of the entering
into of the contract of 1902, as no contract
was in existence during the period of that
service; but the company could collect
the reasonable value of said service; and
as the city and company have agreed by
the rendering and paying of the bills
during that time the matter has been
disposed of and cannot affect the accom-
panying bill for May last. While the
contract aforesaid was not retroactive
from April l. 1901, up to the time the con-
tract went into effect. vet the city re-
ceived the benefits of the reduced rates;
and the said contract has been in force
since the said ordinance became law.
