Resolutions were adopted by the
Womens Socialist Union yesterday in
support of the city administration in

company and of the projected munic-
ipal lighting plant. The women eX-
press the hope that with such a plant
owned and operated by the city cleo
tricity may become so cheap that it can
be used for heating and cooking as
well as lighting, the local gas COM
panies coming in for a drubbing with
the electric company. The women very
vigorously denounce what they term

pretended legal form by the mine own

porters, and the suppression of infOr-
