LIGHTING BIDS
REJECTED
Street and Water Board
Throws Out the Offers
to Illuminate the.
City.
COMPANIES WILL faY AGAIN
It Is Generally Thought the
New Bids Will Show Big
Cuts in Rates.

AT yesterdays meeting of the Street
oil street lighting were rejected, for the
reason, as stated in the resolution, that
il was for the best interests of the city,
that better terms can be secured.
The American Lighing Company of
Baltimore had underbid the Public Ser
vice Corporation ard the New York and
New Jersey Globe Gas Light Company
by SIS per lamp both for gas and oll
light. The Baltimore concern bid Mas
SGT per lamp. and the other concerns
bid was $50 per lamp.
Prusideat Carswell and Secretary
Newbold, accompanied by the company's
counsel, John j. Treacey. were present,
and left the room as soon as the resolu-
ton rejecting the bids was adopted.
Mr.. Treacey said the company would
make another bid. The Public Service
Corporation and the Globe Gas Light
Co. will also make another bid. 1t is
probable that both concerns will cut con-
siderably. The total amount of money
spent yearly by the city for gas and oil
street lighting is about $4,000. The
city will still expend that amount, but
will secure nore lamps.
AS soon as the resolution rejecting the
! bids was adopted it was sent by Clerk
George Bouton to the Mayor in antici-
patton that he would Immediately sign it,.
The Mayor, however, sent word back
that he wanted time to consider the reso-
luton. ~
A resolution was passed authorizing
the clerk to readvertise for bids. Should
the Mayor sign today the resolution sent
him the clerk will commence readvertis-
ing tomorrow. The law compels the pub
lication of the advertisement for five
days, and as Christmas and Sunday will
intervene before the Boards next regular
meeting, it will hold special meeting
next Wednesday to receive new bids.

COMMENCEMENT CONCERT.

Interesting Programme by Yale Musical
 Clubs at New WooIsey Hall Last
 Evening.
 Last evening in the new Woolsey hall was held the thirty-ninth annual com mencement concert by the Glee, Man dolin and Banjo clubs. The new hall, which was formally dedicated only last Saturday. was very well filled consid- ering its tremendous seating capacity. Only 2 few seats were unoccupied at the rear of the hall.
 Many os the ladies were in decolette costumes in anticipation of the senior dance whicR took place in the gymna- sium st the close of the concert.
 The musical clubs were in excellent form and rendered their various num- bers with vigor and harmony that were refreshing. The audiences were enthu- siastic in the extreme, nearly every number receiving an encore. The hall proved itself adaptable to such occa- sions as the acoustics are perfect to a degree. The solos were heard quite as clearly as were the heavier choruses.
 The programme was almost exactly the same as that given on the Christ mas trip and was as previously pub lished.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-06-23

concluded the seniors assembled around the east end os the Chittenden library, where the class ivy was planted by George Sinclair Hurst Of New York city.
 The reading of the class histories was by Erastus Corning Of Albany. Carroll J. Waddell Of Kansas City, Henry H. Clark of Winchester, Tenn; Augustus K. Oliver Of Pittsburg, and G. Stan leigh Arnold of this city. The class his tories were shorter than usual and were of the usual nature of >grinds on the diff ferent members of the class. These eX- ercises were under the direction of the following class day committee: Albert Lamb of Waterbury, Stuart B. Sutphin of Cincinnati. George B. Chadwick of Brooklyn, Russell Rogue of New York city and Y. W. Wilhelmi Of New York city.
 RECEPTION AT BYERS HALL.
 At , D. ID. was held the reception in Byers hall. the Sheffield Y. M. c. A. Though the misty rain was unfavorable still the attendance was quite f1attering. This was the first public occasion to which the new building has been open ed. The new Y M. c. A. far exceeds the academic building, both in size and beauty oe interior. Everything is in exquisite taste. The lower floor is de- voted to pool and billiard tables. the second floor to library and writing room which flank the main entrance and hall. The next story is given over to the Y. M. C. A. hall proper. A large and elegantly fitted auditorium. The upper story is devoted to sleeping apartments. which will be given by lot
