 MAY CHANGE HANDS
Highest Bidders May Get AwardeBecause of Dissat- isfaction of Council Com mittee on Lighting.

There is possibility that the con- tract for furnishing the city with gas and gasoline street lights may change hands at meeting of the Aldermanic Lamp committee this evening, al- though the present holders of the con- tract, the American Street Lighting CO, were the lowest bidders. when bids were opened in the city clerks office this noon. It's bid was S25 a lamp per year. which is the existing price.
 The only other bidder was the Wels- bach Street Lighting Go. of Philadel- phia, which had the contract up to five years ago. Its bid was BPS a der the terms of the contract to fur nish 60 candle power lamps and keep them lighted during the night season.
 Because of numerous complaints which the committee has had about the lights during the past year, and because some of the members of the committee are impressed with the quality of light furnished by the sam pie lamp erected by the Welsbach Co., in Union Square. alongside of that of the American Street Lighting Co.,, the change may be made.
 The bids were opened this noon by the city clerk in the presence of the committee and befOre representatives of the competing companies. On mo- ton of Aldermen Jackson the meeting was adjourned until o'clock this ev- ening and the bids placed in the hands of the city auditor for safe keeping.
 A member of the committee said this morning, i've are looking for quality and service. If the contract goes to the American Street Lighting Co., we will insist that change be made in the manner of opearting the lights and will have a test to show that we are getting 60 candlepower lights. The same rules will be appli- cable to the Welsbach Company if it gets the contract
 It is understood that the United H. luminating Co.,, although not a bidder expects to get the opportunity to dis place a hundred or more of the gas and gasoline lamps with tungsten lamps at s27 year. This offer has never been made to the committee formally, but now that the United IT. luminating Go. has wires underground in many streets about the city it is in a position to compete for furnishing minor street lights in competition with the gas company.
