PROMISED BETTER LIGHTS.
When Franchise was Granted-TaI
About Municipal Light Plant

When the 80 years franchise was
given the Willamette Valley Com
pany, the superintendent of the
corporation definitely stated to-
meu bers of the council and the
council committee that the rs
candle power street lights, as
soon as the corporation assumed
control would be equal to so candle
power lights. In fact, very SIN
liar statement to that was made OF
the floor of the council the night
the long franchise was granted.
All the members of the city coun-
Gil had we'll defined idea, which
was given them by Manager WEIGH
aud his agents, that the light seYy-
ice in Corvallis was to be mrch
better than under the Porter re-
gime. Nobody limited or suggested.
that the lights would be of the
character that they are now. Had
there been such suggestion or sur-
mise, the council would hardly have
granted franchise. The council
was not justified in granting SO long
a franchise, but it is to be said In
justification of that body that fair
and glittering promises Of better
lights had much to do with leading
the members into the grave mis-,
take that has been made. ..-.--
There has been comment pro and
con, on the resolution with refer
ence to an issue of bonds and the
city ownership and control o. a
light plant. The resolution was
introduced by Councilman Irvine,
and the only one against it was
Prof. Holmes. There is talk to-
the effect that in some houses the
lights are better than in Others, but
as to this the TIMES is unable to
say.
A fact that the TINES can vouch
| for however, is that it was the
council by grant of the long fran
chise that brought the light mon
opoly into this town. and it is the
council that the people must look
to for deliverance from the present
inferior light service.
