chise. upon such terms al may be
just to both parties and to be stip-
ulated in said contract.
B. F. JONES,
When asked by a councilman
with reference to his backing, Mr..
Jones said he was ready to give a
good and sufficient bond to guar.
antee that he would begin the con-
struction of a system within 40
days after the execution of a con-
tract and thattthe system would be
in operation within eight months
thereafter. In answer to inquiry
with reference to the arc lights he
would furnish, he said that they
would be of standard size.
COUNCIL CONSIDERING BOTH.
The council is cons idering both.
propositions. The special light
committee consisting of Henk1e,
Avery and Rose changed the con-
tract for the original proposition of
the local company, reducing the
+arr,, to Gftoap uoore ood o1co ~,
cutting out the clause which pro-
vides that at least 5000 worth of
light shall be taken per year, be-
sides making other alterations of a
minor character. This amended
contract, to which the electric light
company had not agreed. was sub
mitted and read at the council meet
ing. At the same time the propo-
sition of Mr.. Jones was laid before
the council. At first, consideration
of the Porter proposition and con-
tract was postponed until the next
monthly meeting, but the motion
was subsequently reconsidered, and
final consideration set for next
Monday night. Meantime. the con
sideration of the Jones offer was
fixed for an adjourned meeting of
the council to have been held last
night after the TIMES went to press.
The latter proposition was referred
to special committee, consisting
of Councilmen Colbert, Porter and
Henkle, who were at work yester-
day on the matter.
TIED TO OLD OFFER.
By an unusual vote at Monday
nights meeting, several of the
councilmen are partly committed to
the offer of the local company. Mr.,
Porter was present at the proceed
ings, and a random discussion of
the matter was in progress. He
was asked if he would accept the
contract as reported to the council
BY the special light committee, cut
ting the terms from 20 to IS years,
maintaining the figures for lights
1t $625 for arcs and ST 46 for in
candescents, and asserting to the
abolishment of the provision requi-
ing that 5000 worth of light be
aiken per year. Mr. Porter would
lot agree to accept it, but indicated
hat he would take it under advise
nent for few days. Then a mo.
ion was made to take a. test vote
IN the question to determine what
members would favor giving Mr..
oorter's company IS years con-
ract. the Jones offer to the contra
y Notwithstanding. This motion
vas adopted, and then the test
notion put. Those who voted ia
,orable to the 15 years contract for
VT Porter's company were, Hen
lie, Crees, Taylor, Cameron, Por-
err, Hodes and Rose; against it
Colbert, absent Avery.

ANOTHER PROPOSITION.
To Light Corvallis Rates Than
Former Offers-Ben tones Of Toledo
Makes it.

Two propositions for street light
ing are pending before the city coun
Gil, One by the local electric light
company was submitted three weeks
ago and has since been under con-
sideration. The other was unex
pected1y thrown before the council
at a meeting Monday night
The new proposition is by B F.
Jones the Toledo attorney, of whom
it is supposed that he is making the
offer in his capacity as a lawyer.
His rates are even lower than the
very low rates offered by the elec-
trio light company. On 20 years
contract, Mr. Jones offers to supply
the city with arc lights at five dol
1ers per month, asagainst the $o.a5
per month offered by Mr.. Porter's
company, He offers incandescent
street lamps at $I.25 per month.
Mr.. Porters offer being S. 4o
On 10 years franchise, Mr. Jones
offers arcs at $6 IS per month as
against Mr., Porter's 81 o8 per
month, and incandescents at 81 so
to Mr. Porter's 50. Mr., Jones offer
of ten years contracts practically
the same as the local company's
terms on 20 years basis, the only
difference being that the latters fig
ures for incandescents is $I.45 while
Mr. Jones asks $1.5o per month.
Mr.. Jones was present at the coun
Gil meeting, and submitted his offer
in person. His proposition is as
follows:
The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1903-11-11

getically working with that end in view.
lie recognizes the vast resources OF Nlr-
