To Adoption Ordinance Making Con-
tract for Street Lighting.

.
A contract for the city to buy
street lights from the Corvallis
Electric Light Company for per-
iod of 20 years is pending in the
| city council. It is in the form of
an ordinance, and has passed the
second reading, It will come up
for final passage at the regular
meeting to be held in November.
Most of the provisions are regarded
with favor by many of the coun-
cilmen, and there seems to be a
fair prospect that the ordinance
with some slight notifications ac-
ceptable to the Electric Light Com
pany may be passed.
The ordinance and contract was
considered at length at a special
meeting of the council Monday
night. It was takenup. paragraph
by paragraph. and discussed. Some
objection was offered to 20 year
term and the suggestion was made
that it be reduced to IS years "A.
vote to test the sense of the council
was taken. and three councilmen
voted for the acceptance of the 20
year provision and FIVE against it,
one not voting. Those who voted
for were Crees, Taylor and Hodes;
against. Avery, Rose, Porter, Cam
eron and Colbert; not voting,
Henk1e,
Mr.. Porter of the Electric Light
Company. was present. and said the
prices offered are cheaper than in
any other town west Of the Rocky
mountains. He had made these
prices he said on basis of a 20
years contract, and he indicated
that his company would not recedeH
from that requirement without in
creasing the price of lights.
Objection was made by one or
two councilmen to the requirement
that the city take 5000 worth of
light per year.. but otherwise about
all the provisions are apparently
acceptable to the members, The
proposed contract, in full, is as
follows:
