terial change from the present con-
tract is that providing for the lights
burning all night every night, with
out calling for outage on moonlight
nights.
The 20 arc lights that are to be
furnished by the company, are said
to be of the latest design and cannot
be compared with those now In use
in the city. The $50 watt Tungstens
of which five are ordered will re-
place the same number of arcs on va
rious streets. These incandescent
lights are said to furnish as good
light, or nearly so, as the arcs the O..
& G. e. Is now using here. The
Tungsten will be swung across the
streets in the same manner as the
arces are hung The SO watt Tung-
stems are to be suspended from poles
by means of bracket or other suita
BILE device, and will be placed at
street corners as many so watt in
candescent lamps are already install
ed.
The Price to be Paid.
The new lights will cost the city
as follows:
Arcs $50 per year, each; $50 watt
Tungstens, s45 per year, each; so
watt Tungstens, SIS per year each.
In case of an unavoidable accident
at the plant, so that the lights can
not be burned, there is a provision
in hA NJ sv,r - e
outage on the bills.
The company agrees to light build
ings occupied by city employees as Of
fees, or buildings used as jails, fire
department ETC., for cents per Kill
owatt hour, or one half the rate
charged other users of the Juice"
Will be Ready Soon
Mr.. Kohler stated that the towers
for the lighting system, have been
installed from Shaftsburg to the
Thomas farm, south of the city, and
that the string of poles will soon
reach this city.
T. w. Atwood, representing the L..
& n. E. Co., was at the meeting, and
asked the council to designate the
proper places for the company's steel
poles to be used to hold the trolley.
Upon motion of Alderman Washburn
the matter was placed in the hands
of the chairman of the street COM
mittee, Alderman BRANDED and the
city engineer, E. F. Joslin, with
power to act. The city clerk, at the
instance of Mr.. Atwood, was in
structed to notify the proper per-
sons to cause all wires crossing So.

to be placed not less than % feet

City Lighting Contract.

The council at the meeting Mon
day evening authorized the mayor
and city clerk to sign a contract with
w. A. Foote and w. M. Eaton for
city lighting for the next ten years.
The contract had been read and the
various clauses gone over at length
by the aldermen before Alderman
Conant, chairman of the lighting
committee, introduced the resolution
accepting the agreement. There were
but two votes against the resolution,
Aldermen Chavey and Mcdonald an
swering may" at the roll call. Both
declared that they did not think the
parties named in the contract as
1.-The power company" was specific
enough, and Alderman Chavey de-
clared that If better service could be
secured by signing an agreement
with the Commonwealth Power COM
pany, the council should wait until "a
proposition with this company is
presented. The contract takes effect
in 60 days.
Mr.. Kohler of Jackson, represent
ing Messrs Foote and Eaton, who
are designated as managers of the
power company, and City Attorney
Pulver explained that owing to a de-
lay in the completion of the L. & N.
E. line, the Commonwealth has not
taken possession of the local proper
ty, and that Mr.. Foote and Mr.. Eat
on are owners now and that, under
the provisions of the contract, their
heirs, assigns ETC., will be bound by
the agreement which was adopted
Monday evening.
The new apparatus for street
lighting, including new wire, lamps,
ETC., are to be in operation within
six months. On or before October
18th, the city must furnish a chart,
showing where the 20 arc lights, the
five $50 watt Tungstens and the $50
so watt Tungstens, provided for in
the contract, are to placed. After
this is done, the entire lighting sys-
tenn will be rebuilt and will conform
with the city's needs as outlined in
the chart.
The city may order new lights
placed at, any time, If 60 days no.
tice is given the company, and the
company must install them without
extra cost, unless an arc light is or
dered placed more than a quarter Of
a mile from the circuit as shown on
The chart, or the so watt lamps or
dered placed more than 800 feet
from the circuit. In case lights are
ordered for a greater distance away
than specified in the contract, the
city must pay the extra cost of con-
structing lines to the point where
new light is desired.
In order to make this provision
have little or no effect upon the city
by way of costing the taxpayers any
considerable amount, Mayor Burke
pointed out that the schedule or
chart that the city furnishes the
power company, will make allow
ances for lights on all of the principal
at or within 800 feet of the
city limits.
Another clause that will be a ma

Absent Fifty-tws Years.

Among those whose boyhood
days were spent in this communi
ty, and who have been away from
the county for a long time, Is Mr..
Robert st. Clair, residing near
Greencastle. Mr.. st. Clair was
born In this valley, and grew to
manhood here. A few days ago,
1t occurred to him that he would
like to visit the place of his birth,
and accordingly came up to Ft.
Loudon on the train, and walked
across thu mountain. Although
seventy five years of age, Mr..
st. CLAIR Is hale and hearty, and
does not mind a little walk like
that.
1t has been fifty-two years
since Mr.. st. Clair's last visit tc
the Cove; and he. of course, mis-
ses the faces Of many whom he
knew when he resided here more
than half a century ago.

Oct After n.

Mayor McClain, of Lancaster,
has ordered the police of that
city to arrest every person who
uses profane or obscene language
on the streets. The mayors act
has been applauded from one end
of the State to the other.
Mother has a letter to be mail
ed, or she wants package of cof.
tee from a store. She sends her
darling child to perform the err
rand. AS the child passes along
the street some villain throws
filth all over the spotless clothing
of the child made clean at the
washtub by the mothers own
hands. Every one Is indignant
at the dastardly act, and feel that
such a person is not fit to live In
civilized community. But Is
he worse than the man or boy
who will use profane or obscene
language In the presence of that
child, and in so doing, besmirch
it's soul with a stain that only God
can remover The mother may
cleanse the soiled garment, but
not the stained soul. The man or
boy who uses paofane language
in public is criminal, and should
be dealt with according to law.
There would not be the swear
ing among the boys of this town
that Is heard-and by boys, some
of whose parents are exemplary
church members, If they did not
hear it on the streets. Are the
parents to blameY No.
One of our teachers told story
a day or two ago of a little boy
who had acquired the habit Of
saying ''darn it."
Billy" said his mother, one
day, II will give you ten cents if
you do not say darn IT. any
more"
10, mother, that's nothing. 1
know some that's worth fifty
cents"
Here is something that might
we'll have the attention of our
worthy burgess.
