NEW VAPOR LIGHT BIDS.
Former Bid Thrown Out, NOtwith-
1t Was Lowest Ever Made.

Former Bid Thrown Out, NOtwith.
1t Was Lowest Ever Made.
The Board of Works practically decided
yesterday to advertise for bids for street
gas lights. Attorney ]. D. Thompson repre-
sented the Sun Vapor Light Company, Of
Canton, o., before the board. The Sun
Vapor Light Company and the old Board
of Works made a contract for fifty Cor
more) street gas lights for five years at $28
a year. The new board rescinded this con-
tract some time ago, by withdrawing from
Council the ordinance to ratify the contract.
The Sun Vapor Light Company will bid
for the new contract, 1t is thought.
In refusing to affirm the contract the old
Board Of Works entered into will the Sun
Vapor Light Company the new board is
carrying out its programme Of finding fault
with the Bookwalter administr alton. The
Sun Vapor Light Company's contract to
furnish fifty street gas lights at SIS a year
light contract, and the kind Of light pro-
vided for in this contract is a large i'm
proyement over any street gas light now
Board of Works wants TO make a contract
for itself.
Col. M. A. Downing. president of the
Board of Works, says the sweeping fund
will be practically exhausted when the Oc-
tober bills are paid. 1t is estimated that
about 5000 will be required to carry on the
sweeping the remainder of this year. This
money will have to be provided by a trans
fer or by an appropriation ordinance, it is
said. The matter will be taken before
Council soon. The Marion County Construc-
tion Company has been allowed 5000 by the
Board of Works as partial payment for the
October sweeping.
The Board of Works has received bids
for the legal advertising of the city of
indianapolis for 1905. AS none of the men,
bers of the board has any technical knowl-
edge of printing matters the bids will be
submitted to an experienced printer and ad-
vertising man. This will be done next week.
Following are the bids: The indianapolis
News, Z cents a line fiat; the Indianapolis
Sentinel, IS cents per square of ESQ ems; the
Sun Publishing Company, 14k cents a
square of nine agate lines; the Reporter
Publishing Company, q cents a square Of
$50 ems.

Men Being Pushed TO the Front as
Presidents who Began mt the Bot
tom and Worked Up on Merit.

The Vandalia has begun Improvements to
it's roadbed and equipment in earnest. There
are at present at least 600 men at work
above the usual force in constructing the
new yards at East st. Louis, building the
four miles of new main track at Terre
Haute, which will make a main line indie
pendent of all side and yard tracks at that
city and numerous sidings are being length
ened, which will permit the handling of the
heavy passenger traffic which will come TO
the road next year on account OF the expo
sition. without interfering with the heavy
freight traffic. With additional passenger
cars and locomotives the Vandalia will be
in condition TO handle double its present
volume of business with a promptness diff
cult to excel.

CONTRACT FOR LIGHTING
MAYOR HOFFMAN SAYS THE MAT.
TER WILL soon BE TAKEN UP.
He Promises that Under q New Con-
tract Electric Lights VIII Cost
Less-Other City Affairs.

indianapolis will not have TO pay as much
for its electric street lights under the con-
tract the new administration will let soon
as is now paid to the Indianapolis Light
and Power Company. Mayor Hoffman
made this announcement last night.
AT present the city is paying S5 a year
for every electric street light. The mayor
does not know. OF course. how much less
the electric street lighting will cost the
city under the new contract. but that the
company which will do the lighting the
next ten years will not receive $S5 a year
per light. the mayor is certain.
Mayor Hoffman is urging the Board of
Works and City Engineer Jeup to get the
Specifications for the new contract ready
as soon as possible. The engineer is work
ing on the specifications now. Just when
he will have them completed and ready to
submit to the Board of Works is not
known, for this will depend upon 10Y
much other work he will have to do from
day to day. Just now the Board of Works
is keeping him pretty busy with other mat
terS.
The specifications under which the Holtz-
man administration will make the electric
street lighting contract will be largely an
embodiment of the specifications the old
Board of Works had prepared last sum-
mer. the mayor says. There will be some
changes, but what these will be cannot be
given out for some time.
The new administration is planning TO
include in its electric street lighting speci-
ficat;onS a clause granting the company
which gets the contract the authority to do
private lighting all over the city. And.
like the Bookwalter administrations speci-
fications, the new administration is also
planning to make the longtime contract.
The mayor says 1T would be injustice to
ask a new company to bid for the contract
If it could do the lighting only a few years.
The mayor says eighteen months would be
required for a new company to establish
a plant adequate for this contract.
II think we will have a good deal of COM
petition for the new electric street lighting
contract" said the nay last night. I'VE
are going to get our lighting done at less
cost under the new contract. 1 am anxious
to get the contract let, m the matter will
be pushed as rapidly as possible"
The indianapolis Light and Powers cleo
trio street lighting contract expired some
time ago. but the company continues to
furnish the light. Because this contract
has expired is one reason Mayor Holtz-
man wants to get the new contract award
ed as soon as possible.

FOX LEFT A
1t Means that I'm the Wear Future
L~ynchehaun Will he Rearrested.

While in the city several days ago Attor-
ney James Fox, of New York. left a new
affidavit with Assistant District Attorney
Lafollette against James Lynchehaun,
charging him with being a fugitive from
justice and wanted in Great Britain tc
serve out his sentence for assault with in
tent TO kill Agnes Mcdonnell. The new az
idavit will probably not be filed for some
time yet on account OF the fact that Judge
Anderson. OF the Federal Court. will be un-
able TO take the matter up until he has dis
posed of the indictments OF the federal
grand jury.
The affidavit is sworn out by n representa-
tive OF the British government at New
York. IL is said that Mr.. Fox intended 10
swear out a warrant on the affidavit while
here but did not do SO because he wished TO
wait until Judge Anderson could turn his
attention TO the case. II is more than
probable that when the warrant is filed
Lynchehaun's attorneys will bring habeas
corpus proceedings and by this means an
appeal could be taken from the decision of
the court and the case taken before the
United States Supreme Court. which would
decide whether the commissioners decision
Is final.

SYSTEM.


Petition to Have Appraisers Appoint
ed to Condemn Property.
A petition will be sent to Judge Allen, Of
the Circuit Court, by the Board OF Park

the property to be used in the Fall creek

we'll heirs yesterday presented to the Park
Board, for use In constructing the Fall
creek pleasure drive. three acres of land at

The 100000 with which the Fall creek and
Pleasant run boulevards will be constructed
was appropriated last spring. Mayor Holtz-
man says he wants the Board Of Park Com
missioners to push the work Of preparing
for construction of the bulevards as rap

New Rule for Railways.

Actual values of railroad properties as
represented by the money actually expend-
ed in their construction are to be taken into
consideration by the Interstate-commerce
Commission in the future when
the reasonableness of advances made in
freight rates. This fact developed Friday
when the commission took great pains to
ascertain how much it had cost to build
the international & Great Northern Rail-
road, which is one of the properties con-
cerned in the advance of rates from st.
Louis to Texas common points. In the
case of this railroad it did not develop that
the capitalization and funded debt upon
which interest must be paid in the one case
and upon which it is desired to pay divi-
dends in the other are excessive. 1t Is ex-
pected, however, that some of the South
western roads interested in the present in
curry will not make such a good showing.
The position of the commission is based
upon the recent holding of the supreme
Court that a railroad is entitled only to a
fair return on the actual Investment.
w. Il. Biddle, freight traffic manager OF
the Santa Fe Railroad, was the principal
witness Friday. He volunteered to furnish
the commission with the rules and bylaws
of the Southwestern tariff bureau, but de-
clared that he did not see how a COMPETE
tive rate could be changed or fixed without
consultation with connecting lines. IN
creased cost of labor and of all other mate
rails used by railroads made an increase in
the Texas rates necessary. said Mr. Blddle.
In the opinion Of the witness the Texas
rates should have been raised three years
ago, and were fully justified by changed
conditions. Questioned by COMMISSIONS
Flfer, Mr.. Biddle admitted that the volume
of traffic had increased materially or late
years and that the revenues had further
been increased by an almost absolute
maintenance of rates.
