FOR A MUNICIPAL LIGHTING SYS
 ITEM.
Congress Will be Asked For Permission to Bond the Town For the Re-
 quired Amount.

At the special meeting of the city council held Monday night good start was made in the matter of securing q municipal lighting system for Tempe. The matter. it will be remembered, was first brought up at the regular meet ing of the council last week and at that time a committee was appointed to se
 cure the necessary data. This com mittee made its report Monday evening.
 On the basis of that report. il Is es- timated that a system may be secured here at cost not exceeding $25.OOO and the city attorney was instructed to draw up the necessary bill or enablin
 act which will have to be passed by congress, authorizing the town to bond itself for that amount for the purpose of constructing such a system. IL Is the intention of the attorney to prepare this matter at once and forward it tO Delegate Ralph Cameron with the re- quest that he push it through as fast as possible. It is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty or unrea l. sonable delay in passing the bill.
 Just how the town will proceed to se- cure the lighting system is not yet set 
 ing through the limits of the town. it is natural to suppose that this power shall be asked. on one previous occa- sion an effort was made to make a deal with the government for the town fail ed to get any satisfaction out of the reclamation service. Another effort will be made soon and If suitable terms can be made, q contract will be made with the government. Of course. should il appear to the council after more study that a plant can be constructed cheaper than government power can be secured. this will be done. The idea of the council is to secure first class system at the lowest practical cost
 As board of equalization. the coun- cil went down the lists of the assess ment rolls as far as the letter K. It is noticeable that the assessed value of property is greater this year than ever before The merchants have turned in larger stock values and there is con siderable land in the new Gage addi- ton that comes in now to help swell | the taxable property of the town, all of which indicates prosperity.
