Both the Booster and Gazette al
lege that the council and Jesse Beez-
ley are getting together on the
electric light proposition. We hope
they are right. The matter is be-
coming very tiresome and the public
want it settled, but they do not
want an excessive price paid for n
very deficient plant. 1t il well known
that the present plant is totally in
adequate and must be increased at
once to supply the demand, still we
believe the public would be glad to
see Beezley bought out II the price
was right. They authorized the
council by vote to pay him $4,7O0
and that is n big price for the plant.

Under the rules of the Legislature no

however. is that they will not be passed
until the week beginning April g. 1t IS
also safe prediction that when ready
they Will so through both houses with
little opposition.
SO far as the insurance companies are
concerned, the most obnoxious OF the re-
form provisions have been satisfactorily
modified. While Assemblyman Cox may
carry ont mis- threat to block one of the
measures unless It is amended. it Is
more than likely that all the bills will
