ciously. The bulbs cost $3.50, and i

will suffer. The light on Colleg'
street was broken maliciously 1t wal
done by a hack driver with his whip
He was seen by citizen and the cit!
authorities are investigating. All tht
hack drivers on duty last night anC
answering calls on College street will
be arrested. 1t, is pretty well knowr
who the culprit is, and if it can b
proved that he broke the globe, h
will be given the limit Of the law
In the meanwhile, the city offers {
reward of S25 for information tha
will convict any one of breaking ;
street light. Mayor Seligman is deter
mined to stop the nefarious practice
and in such localities where lights ar
broken, they will not be replaced un
