kreutzer Wants Light.
Councilman KreutZer, of the Fourth
ward, wants more light. He got down
on his knees and begged for it. but at
the present time the council does not
see any way to grant the request, mas
much as the present power at the plant
is not any more than sufficient to take
care of the lamps now in use. Mr.
KreutZer says there is dangerous
place in his ward between the Linn
creek bridge and the Great Western
tracks, and cited Mr.. G. G. NIilhiser as
considering himself in great danger in
coming to the city in the evening to do
his trading. Mr.. Webster suggested
that 1t didn't speak very well for Mr..
NIilhiser, in that there were nothing
but saloons and drug stores open In the
evening. Mr.. Kreutzer said he didn't
like to be joked with and the council
adjourned before any action was taken.
1t is thought, however, that new arc
light will be placed in each of the wards
before very long.
Will Meet Next Monday.
The council will meet again next
Monday night, at which time the Via
duct ordinance will come up. The pack
ing house sewer will also be considered
at this time.
