Board Today

Bids for lighting the city with electri-
city were advertised for submission TO the

but none was received. Directors of tho
department are nonplussed over the fall
ure OF either electric lighting company to
bid for furnishing electric lighting for the
city streets.
George W. Sparks, president Of the

had been given 70 the commission by
either wilmington iCty Electric Company
or Wilmington Heat, Light and Power
Company for failure to bid The present
contracts, which expire on April /, 1910 is
held by the Wilmington City Electric
Company.
Mr.. Sparks said the commissioners
had no knowledge that there would
be no bids until none came in.
This is the third time bids have
been asked for, and the second timo
that no bids have been received. The
electric companies before gave good
reason for not submitting bids at the
time.
President Sparks to-day said he did
not know what action the board would
take in the matter. but there is plenty
of time In all probability there viii

Directors and officers Of the two cleo
