ENSLEY ENJOYS A
 PEACEFUL SEASON
Last Saturday and Sunday Passed With One Arrest Being Made
 By the Police.

Ensley, July 26.-(Special- Ems ley sustains its usual busy appearance and it's streets are thronged with push ing, hustling humanity, the police report that they have been almost dead ex- pense to the city for the past week.
 A most remarkable record was made last Saturday and sunday, when not one arrest was made during the entire forty eight hours This Is something very un- usual for Saturday night in Ensley, which Is not unlike any other city of it's kind, populated as it is with all classes of humanity,
 Speaking of the matter today. Chief of Police D. F. Suggs said: "The past week has been unusually quiet in police circles in Ensley.s Aside from detaining a few unimportant drunks, we have had practi- cally no trouble and have made possibly the fewest number of arrests for the same length of time for years.
 'Ensley, however, is usually quiet, and We have but little trouble considering the cosmopolitan character of it's inhabi- tants.
 Last Saturday and Sunday were rec. cord breaking days with us. Not sim gle arrest was made during the two days. This is very unusual, aG we generally have several arrests on Saturday nights.

San Diego. Cal, July 26-The gunboat Bennington Is again afoat on an even keel and wlll be lowed to the Mare Island navy yard to be thoroughly examined and re- paired She will be taken up by the Iris, escorted by the powerful naval tug For tune. but 1t Is doubtful that she will get away before the arrival of the Chicago. Divers are making an examination of her hull today.
 Admiral Goodrich is expected to arrive tonight or early tomorrow. when an in vestigation will be begun Much interest centers in the question of what was the steam pressure on boiler B at the time of the explosion, it being understood that the safety valve had been set to blow off at 40 pounds. Ten minutes before the ex- plosion the pressure was only 11S pounds and was rising. The boiler had been cleaned only a short time before and filled with fresh water from ashore. Only one boiler exploded. An examination of the inside of the ship shows that the hull had been damaged but little, if any. The water which poured in and caused the listing came through the blow hole. and pipes broken by the force of the explosion.

CITIZENS MEET IN
 ENSLEY TONIGHT
Will Discuss Building of Electric
 Light Plant
CHAIRMAN SUTTLE TALKS
He Is of Opinion That the People Will Authorize the Building of the Plant-People Seem to Fa-
 vor Proposition.

Ensley, July 26-(Special. )-Much in- terest is being taken in the mass meet ing to be held at the city hall tomorrow night for the purpose of discussing the proposition to erect an electric lighting plant by the city.
 Indications point to a very large at tendance of citizens and it looks now as though the building of the plant will be recommended by very large majority.
 Since the people have had the matter brought to their attention and have been called upon for decision the senti- ment in favor of the improvement seems to be growing It looks now as though there is to be practically no opposition to the immediate construction of the plant.
 If it is decided to build the electric plant it will have to be mortgaged and a sinking fund provided for the payment of the building expenses, the city having reached it's legal limit in the issuing of bonds for public utilities. For this reason the council decided to refer the matter to the people before final action. a...
 At the last meeting of the council on Thursday night, July 20, the streets and lights committee recommended the build ing of an electric lighting plant and sub mitted estimates of cost They reported that the lowest estimate of construction would be sl70OO, but recommended that larger amount be provided to put the plant in operation and pay the expenses for a few months
 In talking. of the proposed plant today o1., ,;,-r,o ,f fI,oc nf,H lights committee of the city council said: 'I cannot say what the people will decide in the mass meeting tomorrow night, but from present indications I feel sure that the building of the plant will be recom- mended by a large majority, in fact I have found no decided opposition to the proposition.
 'I think that most of the citizens who can will attend the meeting and will ex- press themselves on the matter. I believe that the building of the plant would be one of the best public improvements that Ensley could make. We need more lights and by owning and operating its own plant the city could provide them at a much less cost, I believe, than we now pay for an inadequate number of lights.
 ''Ensley Is now paying for ten arc street lights at the rate of $S2.50 per light. We need at least fifty lights, and l be- lieve they could be provided with small additional cost. Of course we hope to bring in some revenue from lights fur nished to residences and other individual subscribers and l believe that this serv- ice can be given at a reduced cost
 We would have 10 mortgage the plant to raise the necessary funds for construc- ticn and equipment, but l am sure that this can be done without difficulty A sinking fund would be provided for the payment of the principal.
 T believe the people in the mass meet ing tomorrow night will unanimously au- thorize the construction of the plant, and if this is done the city council will pro- ceed at once to prepare for the build f.,er
