TOXIC, Jan. 13.-There is reason 10
believe that Japan and Russia have

Appropriation of 100000 to Be
Expended in Shopping
District.

If the recommendations of the
Council Committee on ELECTRICITY are
adopted work of installing ornamental
street lights for the business ana
shopping section of Broad Street will
begin within month. Engineer ~.
w. Traford reminded the COMMITTEE.
last night that the contract had been
awarded some time ago for the con.
duts and underground connections.
and said that the contractor would be-
gin work on Main Street within the
neSt few days, working up the cross
streets to Broad He explained thar
the plans adopted called for under
ground connections TO the centre arc
lights. but that provision had not been
made ir the conduit plan for wiring
the sidewalk lights proposed IN a sub
scquent resolution of the committee.
Mr.. Pollock protested vigorously
against an inactive policy which would
place the. city in the ridiculous atti-
tude of digging up Broad street now
for one set OF conduits and then com
ing along a few months later and cut
ting trenches from the central con.
duits to the sidewalk standards, pro
testing that all tho underground work
should be done at once. He asked why
the Committee on Finance had returned
the Electricity Committee,s resolution

lights without making any recommen
dation, and was told that the Finance
Committee had not been fully Informed
as to what was proposed
Expects Favorable Action.
Chairman Pollard of the Finance
Committee. said his committee had
been of the opinion that the estimate
was excessive, but he had no doubt
when the matter was brought up again
that favorable action would be taken.
Finally. on motion of Mr.. Pollard, a
resolution appropriating $4,000 for
Broad Street lights was ordered to BIZ
sent TO the Board of Aldermen to.
night. with the recommendation of the
to be referred to the Finance Commit
tee under the rules, but efforts will be
made to secure prompt action and spe-
cial meetings OF both branches .os the
Council Will be cslled later in she
month to pass on this appropriation
and at the same time to authorize the
Committee on Electricity to enlarge
the present contract for underground
work so as to include the underground
connections for the Broad Street lights
and to contract for the ornamental
metal standards and lamps proposed.
