Electric Lights, Again.
Council Gets Amended or
ter from Mr.. T. M. Hughes
and Passes Another Or
dinance.

maze oy council ID the matter
OF electric lights. On Monday
Z last an ordinance was passed a..
mendins franchise granted to
Mr.. I. NJ. Hughes so as to re-
duce the maximum rates for
llghtb FOR residences and churches
twenty-fvep per cent, such amend
ment being made at the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Hughes himself.
In his proposition To Council,
proposing TO make the reduction
stated, Mi Hughes submits fig
ures to SHOW the difference be.
tween We rates fixeo by the or
rg1nB franchise and those OF the
amended ordinance. The saw.
Ing to consumers is stated by
him as follows.
1t is safe to assaYne that there
would be less than one Thousand
lights furnished to the residences
and Churches of the Town, and
1t Nay be stated, Therefore, with
reasonable certainty, that the
reduction, under my proposed
amendment, will amount TO not
less than One Thousand Three
Hundred and Seven and 5O-1OO
,($1,307. .501 Dollars per year: or
Thirty nine Thousand Two Hun
dred and Twenty-Five ($39, ,225.-
90 Dollars for the thirty
year period. l would especially
direct your attention, however.
to the fact that the benefit of the
reduction increases proportion
ately with the number OF lights
furnished, j. e., assuming that
fifteen hundred lights should be
used, the reduction would amount
to saving Of of Fifty. eight Thou
sand Eight Hundred and Thirtv-
seven and 50-100 ($5S,S37.5 7.5O)
Dollars or assuming that two
thousand lights should be used
1t would represent a saving of
Seventy-eight Thousand Four
Hundred aud Fifty ($7S,45O.OO)
Dollars. etc. ad infinitum.
Mr.. Hughes concludes with a
comparison of his amended offer
with the Witherspoons-Stevens
proposition published in Satur
days News, as follows
| would also call your atten.
ton to the significant advantages
of the reduction | offer over that
offered by Messrs. Witherspoon
and John L. Stevens.
l. The proposition of the
Messrs. Witherspoon and John
Il. Stephens offers no reduction
In prices, named in the original
contract, but merely agrees to
give the town ten additional arc
lights, free OF charge. In other
words, they do nos offer you the
same number of lights for less
money, but offer you more lights
tor the same money, and this
without regard to whether or not
The Town needs these additional
lights.
Under the amendment which
propose, a reduction in prices
is given Immediately upon the
commencement of operations un.
der the franchise, extending to
all residences and churches, thus
meeting a present need, and
bringing it Immediately home
to all classes of citizens.
III. My proposition represents
much greater saving to the
Town than that submitted by
the Messrs. Witherspoon and

discussions Of these subjects by Miss
Ferguson of Granada, and Supt. LOOMS
Of Pueblo, were we'll taken.
At six O'Clock luncheon was served

to state that here again there was good
cause for rejoicing. Several toasts were
here happily responded to after which
the association again repaired to the
church to listen to a lecture on Master
Motives of Human Characters by Supt.
Loomis.
Beyond question this lecture is one OF
the best that has been given at our

throughout and filled with many practi

worth while.
