Council Considering II.

The Power proposition which has
been up in Versailles for several
weeks will probably be submitted to
a vote of our citizens in the neal flu
ture, as the city council now deem it
advisable to act in the matter and
they seem inclined to favor the prop
osition as It now stands.
At the regular session of the body
Monday night J. B. Q~uigley, the
power promoter. was present and A.
l.. Ross chairman of the citizens
committee was also present with a
number OF our prominent citizens,
who are taking an interest in the mat
ter OF power, and the subject was
argued from every standpoint.

offered by Mr.. Quigley to furnish cleo
trio current for public, domestic and
all other purposes, with an ordinance
covering the ContraCt-in effect that
the company were to deliver the same

4 cents per kilowatt for the first 300
kilowatt hours, 3 cents for the second
300 kllowatts. and 9 cents for all
current used over 600 kilowatts-
were the features before the council.
The main points OF difference dis
cussed were the amount OF power
and number of kilowatts necessary to
operate the city's electric light plan,
daily and the minimum charge to be
cxacted for the current needed.
AS the matter now stands the city
council will act definitely at a meet.

originally stipulated. the other pro
visions remaining the same.
