Leavenworth has been trying TO
solve the light situation for the past
month. Many of the citizens de-
sired that Leavenworth should own
its own power plant but owing to the
assessed valuation of this city it was
not possible to bond for sufficient
sum to put in a plant owned by the
city: Last night at the council meet
ing the city contracted with the Tum-
water Light company to furnish
lights for the city for period of
three years. Cluster lights will be
maintained on the business streets,
while 80 candle power drop lights
will be used in the residence districts.
The cost for this service will amount
to $117 per month. Fred Reeves of

pany and appeared before the Lea
venworth council last night on behalf
of the light company.
