COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC
WORKS SUBMIT REPORT
FREE LIGHTS FOR CITY AFTEb
THIS YEAR.
$1,000 Profit Last Year Used in Ex-
tending Plant.-That Friend
Street Light.-Other Matters.

Mr.. M. L. Spearman, chairman OF
the board of commissioners of pub
lie works, was present at the meeting
of city council on Tuesday night, and
submitted the annual report for his
commission with the request that 1t
be published in the county papers.
The report is published elsewhere IN
this issue.
Mr.. Spearman called the attention
of city council to the fact that the
town had failed to turn over for three
years now the amount required by the
act and made part Of the funds to be
held by the commissioners as a sink
ing fund to meet the bonds when they
become due.
Alderman Earhardt moved that the
report be received as information,
and that the finance committee be. in
strucued to make arrangements 70
pay the amount due the sinking fund,
which motion prevailed.
Lights For Opera House.
Mayor Langford said he would like
to ask the commissioners if they
would not furnish free lights for the
opera house, inasmuch as the opera
house is now being run by the city.
He also asked if the commissioners
would not furnish I'll arc light ID
Friend street at the union station
without extra cost to the city.
Alderman Lonninack made request
Of the commissioners for extension
Of the water line in the eastern part
of the city.
Mr.. spearman stated that he could
not state for the commissioners
whether they would put the opera
house on the free list, or whether
they would put light in Friend street
as requested.
That Friend Street Light.
He stated, however, that if city
council ordered the light put up in
Friend street at tho union station,
that it would have immediate atten-
ton.
In regard to the extension Of the
water line in the eastern section, Mr..
Spearman assured Alderman Lomin-
acl; that this would be done at once.
Net Profit of $1,000.
According to the report submitted,
the, commissioners made net profit
last year of something over $1,000,
bu: this amount had been used in ex-
terding water lines, and in the erec-
ton Of a cistern. He also said that
he thought that after this year, the
commission would be able to- furnish
the city with light without cost, as
he thought the net income for this
year would be something like $4,000.
Of course, if this were done the COM
mission would not have the money to
make Improvements and extensions
that it would have otherwise. Mr..
Spearman stated that the commission
ers were now furnishing water free,
and that the city was paying $500
per year per arc light, the total
amount paid being about $500 per
month.

The advent of this concern onto

to this range. Section rs has been

May Meet at Spokane.

The Lake Superior. Institute OF
Mining engineers, one of the most
influential organizations of its kind
in America, will hold its annual
convention in Spokane next sum-
mer, if the invitation of the
| Spokane chamber of commerce,
seconded by commercial organiza-
tions all over the northwestern and
Pacific states, is accepted. Captain
w. J. Richards of Crystal Falls,
Mich, is president of the organiza-
ton.
R. J. Maclean, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, says in let
ter to Captain Richards that the
institute will recognize the north
west by meeting in Spokane next
summer, as this is the hub of one
of the most successfully operated
districts in the world. The famous
Occur d'Alene, Boundry and other
districts in Washington, Idaho,
Oregon, Montana and British
Columbia are all within a few
hours ride of this city.
We have received letters from
various parts of Washington,
Idaho, Oregon and Montana, where
officers of the commercial clubs
and boards of trade heartily second
our invitation" said Mr.. Maclean
today, and if these have any
weight with Captain Richards and
officers and members of the institute
and the organization desires to
meet in the northwest this year, ]
feel confident we will get the next
convention.
The geographical advantages of
Spokane should appeal to the insti-
tute, as the principal mining dis
tricts of the Pacific slope country
are easily reached from this city.
We have accommodations for TO-
900 visitors. The chamber of
commerce has an agreement with
the hotel and restaurant interests
that the regular rates will prevail
during this and all other gather
ings"
The Lake Superior Mining Init
tute held its fifteenth annual meet
ing last year on the Gogebic iron
range in northern Michigan. The
institute has held its meetings at
three different times on the Mime
sofa ranges. The organization,
which is now large, had its in
ception at an informal gathering of
mining engineers at Ironwood,
Mich. in 1898.
