last night in regular session and took
up the electric light question again. The
question of effectuaIly meeting the COM
petition of the Telluride Power company
has been under consideration for a long
time. Two plans were proposed, one the
buying out of the Telluride, company at
SIS, eco and the other the Ievying of a
6-mill tax and the reduction OF the price
of lights to such point as would meet
the Telluride prices.
After a fierce discussion last night.
in which Councilman Hatch opposed the
tax levy and made the charge that the
administration is seeking to cover up
things connected with the plant that the
public should know, IL was finally de-
cided to place the levy at mills for
electric light purposes, and cut the price
of lights
The matter of making this cut was
left entirely with the electric light com
mittee- The 6-mill levy, it is estimated
will raise enough money to install a
new unit at the plant thereby doubling
its capacity, and also to pay OF an
Indebtedness of the plant except the

appointed. to consist Of one member OF
