Captain John Bradbury and the men
who have been in the service during
a term of years assert that they have
never before experienced any inspec-
ton so thorough and trying as that
OF Saturday.
The officers are not enthusiastic
over the results of the inspection. All
are aware that rough places were
found and that some things might
have been better. The men general
ly are satisfied with the work done
and the showing made.
Captain Bradbury had fifty-one men
on the floor. Only four men of his
enlistment were absent and all or
these we're out of town. At least two
OF these men and possibly all OF them
will report for inspection at other
places and will be credited to the

University Park is not town on

brought. Thirty,nine resident voters

limits of this city. filed their petition
in the district court about a week ago
and an order was made appointing a
commission of i've men to arrange for
an election and to report the same
to the court. A protest was gotten
up, however, by some farmers owning
land within the proposed town limits
and the case was to have been con-
tested in court. The protest was never
filed in court, but the original peu'

CHARGED
Light Company Assaulted at Meeting
Of City Council.

Complaint having been repeatedly
lodged with members of the city coun.
Gil and with the police officers Of the
city headquarters of the lateness Of
turning on the city lights, the matter
was brought UP before the council last
evening and given an airing. Mem.
bers of the council made complaint,
the mayor told of his experience with
the power station and the light office,
and Chief of Police James Glass told
what he knew of the matter. The
company, they say, has been dilatory
and neglectful in turning on the street
lamps at night. N.a
Councilman Pickett of the Fourth
ward related his experience. He
reached home at half past seven
o'clock one evening. No lights were
on and the darkness of the streets
was intense. Thinking something had
happened he called the mayors office
and then at the power station to learn
Iof the trouble. He was told there was
no trouble. Upon asking why the
lights were not turned on he received
an unsatisfactory reply. The current
he said was not switched on the east
circuit for fullyja half hour after this
incident.
Mr.. Glass charged that the lights
were always from half to an hour
late, the company waiting until dark.
ness had come before lighting the
streets. He told of informing the Oh
fee of the o. T. & L. Co. and the
power station of the absence of lights
on the business streets. He said he
had repeatedly been told in reply that
the lights would be turned on as soon
as the company was ready to turn
them on. The council ordered the
chief of police or some one in the
mayors Office to Keep strict account
of the time when the lights should be
turned on and the time when they
are turned on and the monthly bill of
the light company, which is submitted
to the council, will be trimmed &C
lcordingly. mn.
An attempt was made to take up a
number of waiting ordinances. The
electrical wiring ordinance is resting
pending the arrival OF desired infor-
nation. Some of the members Of the
council stated they were not ready to
act thereon. The new city scales or
dinance also went begging. The cur
few ordinance was called up but the
council soon switched to the matter
of the unpaid sewer tappages and dis
cussed the topic at length. Notices
of delinquents are sent out a few al
time TO give those notified opportun-
lily to make reply to the city clerk. All
manner of conditions have developed
since the notices have been sent out.
Tappages have been permitted where
nit. People have made connection
without permission, and all kinds of
irregularities are found. A man who
has piece of land gave the city right
of way across. it. The land was later
plated and made an addition to the
lefty by another owner who is now
claiming a tappage right for every lot
in the piece. Many OF the connections
have been put in. The sewer tappage
question has opened up world OF
trouble for the council
