FREE LIGHTING

gated by Charter to illuminate
Rooms Without Charge,
Lawyers Say

In searching the records to find if
the Edison company was obliged by
it's charter to furnish free electric light
to the public library attorneys dis
covered yesterday that the Pacific
Light and Power company is obliged
to do this service for the library.
Thus instead of the Edison company
being obliged to sue for its lighting

the library was moved out of the city
hall into an office building, the cost
must be borne by competing COM
pany.
This will give over $50 a month ad-
ditional for library expenditures
The special meeting of the library
directors last night discussed the sit
uation and some compromise will be
made with the Edison people on the
old bill if the new arrangement works
as anticipated.

the rendezvous of all criminals. IL is
their loafing place and in it crimes OF
the blacklist character are born.
Prosecution No Good

good. He does not suffer overmuch by
being brought into court and fined

upon him-are the ones who suffer by
