The township committee met on Wed
nesday evening to open bids for lighting
the streets for period of five years. There
was but one bid, of course, that of the cor
poration which has held the contract for
the past five years. The prices offered
for the new contract are slightly lower
than the old ones, but there is no promise
that the lights shall be any better Their
quality is well known to all who have &C.
casion to use our streets. The agent of
the corporation who was here looking
after the contract said 1t was his first visit
to the town and one of the first things
which attracted his attention was the
meanness of the lights. When you get an
official of corporation to voluntarily
acknowledge the deficiency of the service
1t must be pretty bad. The township
committee will be justified in making a
contract for one year, even though the
rates may be a little higher than for a
longer term. That will give time for con-
siderstion Of lighting plant to be owned
and conducted by the township.
On this subject Of corporations it is just
as well to 60 slow. The recent granting
OF franchise to telephone company has
aroused adverse criticism. but the work
has been dome, and there does not seem to
be anything but ito grin and bear it, and
another corporation will have US by the
throat. For five years we have put up
with the meanest kind of service in the
way of lighting-municipal and CONNER
1t has been of no use to COM
plain. There was a clause In the ordin-
ance which gave the lighting and local
telephone privileges that the poles should
be painted. but we would like to have
some one point out which poles ever re-
ceived the promised decoration. The
township need not be at the mercy of these
fellows. Let us haye some say in the
matter. There will not be any fault found
II little extra is paid for a years con-
tract, and by the end of that time the law
now under consideration allowing towns
to build their own plants will have been
SO that we may act under it if
deemed advisable.

Our Foreign Balance.

Every one IS discussing and no one
seems to understand the condition Of the
money market at present Tho facts,
however, upon which the ultimate results
are necessarily based are efficiently
clear. Tho difficulty Is In drawing the
proper conclusion from them. Tho OK
cess Of merchandise exports over Imports
for tho fiscal year ending June was
3$517 14S, coo. This balance has never been
B exceeded, save In 1898. 1899, 1000, and 1901.
In tho latter year the excess was $6G4,-
500. 900; in two Of tile other years it was
less than $3.50, 100000 ana in 1908 1t was q
little over $500, 900 900. If we owe foreign
countries for dividends or for purchases
moro than this amount. naturally there
will le- no balance coming to this country.
But Europe Is more and more Financing
our undertakings, az witness theS recent
