PROPOSE NEW SECTION

Unless the Edison company makes
concessions in it's franchise satlsfac-
tory to the business men of the CITY,
a co-operative electric light plant at
a. cost of $4,000 will be erected TO
supply the business part OF the CITY,
This is the card which the business
men have up their sleeve. and Whlch
they expect will serve the bring the
Edison company to terms.
At the meeting of the streets and
walks committee Thursday night, the
business men. through ]. w. Robinson,
presented a new section which they
proposed should be Incorporated IN
the ordinance. The new section was
read before the committee, ana Juog-
ing from the comments of the repre-
sentatiyes of the Edison company, IL
will meet with strenuous opposltlon.
The new section does not attempt to
provide maximum rates, but 1t IS SO
cIeverly worded that if adopted, the
cononanv will have to show its hano'
and adOnt a uniform schedule. Then
| if the schedule is not satisfactory, the
\ plan for the construction OF cop

| The business men have shown tnat
| thew are in earnest by hiring an elec-
trical expert to investigate the klno
of a plant needed, and the cost of in
| Stallation.
If the council passes the proposed
new section of the ordinance, the Ell

A minimum charge per month is pro-

portion to the number of arc lights
or the equivalent of arc lights in in
candescents, which is used Then the
section goes on TO divide customer
into three classes, according to the

while it fixes no rate for the larges
consumers, it provides that the Glass

Washington, Oct. 2s.-Immediate ac-

other lighting and power plant come
in here assured of getting a big hne
of heavy customers right from the
start, the Edison concern VIII make
almost any kind of concessions.
Nothing much was done at the
streets and walks committee meeting
Thursday night. The ordinance was
gone over carefully, and some of the
disputed points argued. The commit
tee will meet against next Monday
night.
Joab Mulvane, representing the
company, announced POSITIVELY that he
would refuse to accept a franchise Ior
less than 80 years. He also positively
refused to consider any franchise CIV

Fancy Prices for VioIinS.

The test of the auction room is still
antagonistic to the exaggerated prices
which the violin fanciers would have
US believe show the true worth of old
violins. Some excellent specimens
were sold last week, and nearly all
purchased by dealers, SO that their
authenticity may almost be taken for
granted, but e200 was the highet price
secured. This was gained for Joseph
Guarnerius of 173l, while q Jerome
Amati Cwith certificate by the renowned
authority Josef Chanot) fetched sl00,
an A. and q. Amati of 1880 went for
eos, and some excellent old fiddles
fetched little over ESQ each. I some
times wonder that ordinary purchasers
do not buy more at these sales, where,
although no great bargains are likely
to be picked up-for the dealers would
not allow q violin to go to an out
slider for much under it's trade worth
yet the prices are very greatly below
those asked in the shops, and are Of
course almost trivial compared with
the figures quoted by some OF the col
lectors. The $500 fiddle is in fact a
myth. Nothing oyer 81, 900 has ever
been known.-London Truth.
