The Board of Aldermen at its meet
ing last Monday night and Mr.. Neyes,
lessee Of the Electric Light Plant
failed to get together in The matter o.

consequence the city Is IN darkness
The board wanted to postpone action
another month, at which Mr.. Neyc,
gave way 10 u hasty impulse aud de.

lights, lett the hall. There didn't seem
TO be any objection to the contract
price fixed by MIR. Ncycs, but for Other
reasons the board concluded to 20
slow Mr. Ncvcs says that under the
system prevailing the plant was actual
ly losing money on the street lighting,
and that he couldn't afford to keep
the lights going except ut personal
sacrifice.
Mr.. Neyes appears to be having
some trouble also in getting those pri.
vnte patrons who have been using the
lights at ia fiat rate to agree to put in
meters and euter into signed contract
and has "cut Ont' the lights. As a
consequence there is considerable COM
plant and criticism on this score. Mr.
NeyC, informs Us that he has rocedcd
so far from this proposition as not to
require the signing Of the contract if
the parties will put in the meters, but
those signing the contract will be
charged traction less on the kilowatl
hour than those not signing the con.
tract. He declares that his purpose is
to equuli2c the cost of Lighting to all
patrons, aud has hence reduced the
price per kiiowatt hour from that here.
