Public Service Corporation Again
Finds Il Has Not Whole
Field to Itself.

Trenton, Feb. 9:-Bids were submitted
to Common Council Tuesday nigh by
the American Lighting Company o. Bal
timore to furnish gas and naphtha light
to the city at a lower rate than that OF
the Public Service Corporation. The
American Company secured a contract IN
Jersey City several years ago, which
brought on litigation, which the Public
Service, Corporation won.
The American company evidently IN
tends to carry on the fight, and has trans
ferred its field to this city. The bids pre-
sented at last nights meeting OF counc'I
were; Public Service Corporation loi
800 OF more gas lamps Of 20 candle power
for three years. at the rate OF ~ cen''
per candle power, and ~" cents lo'
naptha lighting. American Lighting
Company, for 800 or more gas lamps 81,
candle power. three years. "a '2-l0O' anu
s. cents for naphtha lighting.
Following the receiving OF the oius'
Councilman Gnichtel asked II "A represen-
tatiye of the low bidding company was
present. and if 50. it would be desirable
~
for him to tell how the light would be
furnished in the event Of the contract
being awarded to the concern.
Councilman Walsh favored referring
he bids to the Light Committee, stating
that other bids had been received from
time to time without being q~uestioned.'
Councilman Hurley thought it was not
necessary to 90 to detail, as the company
had complied with requirements in fur
nishing bonds.
Judge Macpherson, representing the
american Lighting Company, stated that
owing to the shortness of time until the
contract would go into effect, if the com
pauy here represented could not furnish
the light, it was no fault Of his concern,
and left the impression that the lighting
company expected to secure light from
the Public Service Corporation. He sta
ted that by mandmus proceedings this
could be done.
