ELECTION FOR
ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT
Citizens to Decide New Light Propo
sition at Special Election April
twentieth VIII Proceed to
Open jackson Street Soon
Other Council Notes.

The Electric Street Light question
is now up to the citizens and at the
council meeting Friday night a spec.
ial election was ordered for April 10th.
The meeting was a special one and ali
the cOulncilmen were present except
Mr. Potts, who / sill.
The momentous question OF the
evening and the one which demanded
the most consideration was the ordin-
ance pertaining to the contract with
the Mexico Electric Light Company
concerning street illumination. The
following Is a resume the salient
points 10 the ordinance.
The contract is for 100 lights for a
term Of ten years subject to the fol-
lowing conditions: At expiration Of
five years from the date OF the con.
tract II the city Is not able or cares to
discontinue the full number Of lights
the option is reserved to reduce the
number to 60, retaining the IL all
night lights for the sum OF $40 per
month. IL is also specified that the
city shall have the right TO terminate
the contract at the expiration u five
years by paying to the company the
sum Of $500
1t is futher provided that until the
total number OF lights are installed,
the city is entitled to a discount Of
s3.75 per light a month. This will be
submitted to the voters April 10th.
The vote was unanimous with the ex.
ception Of Mr. Marshall wh0 thought
the number Of lights more than the
city could afford and voted against
the ordinance.
The ordinance accepting the iury's
report on the opening Of Jackson
street was passed by a full vote. This
thoroughfare will be opened now as
soon as possible.
The city will buy two car loads OF
brick for street crossings.

stances as regards whether and supply

nearly every case results in disa-

Saunders should have little trouble in
raising q considerable fund for equip
ping the club as 1t should be, to con-
test successfully with strong opponent
like Moberly. Several OF last years
players are arranging to get into fas-
ter company and substitutes OF equal
ability must be obtained which can

put up his bank account on a venture
where the brightest prospects offer
