CALL FOR THE p. ~. -. .
EXTRA SESSION
In It the President Will Refer Only
to the Necessity for Cuban :
Reciprocity.

Washington, Oct. president Roose-
velti will not wait until the last of Octo-
Der to issue his proclamation calling con-
gress in extra session on Nov. 8. He
need not issue such proclamation until
ten days before the date fixed, but in
view Of the general discussion, he consid-
ers it as we'll to issue his proclamation
within the next week or ten days.
The most important phase Of this
question is as to the purpose OF the call.
The president has been urged by the ad-
vocates of financial Legislation to include
that in his call and recommends tion
Some of these men were insistent on
having the president advance the date
to early in October to give time for
currency legislation. But the counsel of
more experienced heads in congress

now the purpose Of the president to con-
fine his call and his recommendations
to the completion Of legislative action for
Cuban reciprocity.

/ The story of the fight to secure munich

has been told, and the results are such
that every Duluthian is glad the struggle

Tally brought up the question of public
control and ownership of the other, and
Duluth stands committed to municipal
electric light. Proper legislation has been
ltsecured and bonds have been authorized
that are sufficient to install plant for
street lighting. No effort has been made

holds for three years at $55 per year, all

than experts figured that the city could
furnish an equivalent light. These figures
ranged from s58 to $50 per light. ,-.
+ The authorization of bonds for a mu-
nicipal plant was voted in 1900, at the
election at which was adopted the new

bonds until after the state supreme court
shall have held the issue legal one.
/ All things considered, a municipal light

the light and water department proposes
to secure the adoption, If possible, of a
high candle-power mantle incandescent
gas lamp for street work at the end Of the
present electric light contract. ..-.
