Light and Water company, s7o73o
The bill of the Citizens Light and
Transit company for the lighting OF
the streets was not reported ON by
the finance committee and Alderman
Boyce for that committee reported
that he found much discrepancy be
tween the deductions as made by the
company and the failures reported by
the police department. The company
had allowed but little over Sc on the
deductions while the police had re-
ported about $19 due on deductions
for lights being out
Alderman Fox moved that the ac-
count as rendered by the company for
$47S.30 be allowed
Alderman Nichol said that on one
or two occasions the whole city had
been in darkness on account Of the
lights being out and thought the po
lice deductions should be made.
Alderman Jordan was in favor of
making the company come up to their
agreement in the contract and thought
the council ought to refuse payment
until they did. He thought if the
company could not furnish the lights.
they ought to say SO and let somebody
else have a chance at il. He believed
they should be held to their con-
tract and the deductions made.
The motion to allow the account
was adopted.

ious to Beat Washingtonian.

Gus Schoenlein, better known as Amer
icuS. has come forward with an expla-
nation of why he is willing TO un-
derake the hard Job of throwing Joe
Grant twice - an hour, at the Wash
ington Light Infantry Armory next
Thursday night.
When Americus made the match his
friends wondered what he was driving
at, as they believed that he would have
his hands fun 10 throw the Washington
ian once in the specified period. In a
letter 10 the sporting editor OF The
Times this morning. Americus explains
that he wanted the hardest kind of a
workout, and knew that he would get
that from Grant. He has not wrestled
since he defeated the redoubtable Shad
Link, who does stunts in throwing bulls,
and needed a worthy opponent to re-
veal his true form.

pected 10 try his best on Thursday.
