THE COUNCIL
AT HELMETTA
Changing of Lighting System
Again is Discussed.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

ApSNthtt = y NNN
HeImetta, June 8:-The regular
monthly meeting of the borough
council held yesterday afternoon
the year, also broke the record for
its length, the session lasting over
five hours. Mayor Charles w. Bum
stead was present, also the follow
ing councilmen: Patrick j. Hogan,
Hugo Weideman, Van Kirk Rich
ards, c. Oscar Ericsson, William H.
Clemens.
Again the matter of changing the
Elimination Of the borough from
kerosene oil to electricity was thor
oughly threshed out and when coun-
Gil adjourned but the matter of the
length of years the franchise was to
run prevented the city fathers grant
ing the Jamesburg Electric Company
the privilege of entering the Dor
ough. At the present time it re-
quires seventy-nlne kerosene oil
lamps to light the town and it will
necessitate but eighty twenty-four
candle power electric lights one hun
dred and seventy-five feet apart to
do the same work, but giving better
illumination. The cost of the oil
lights is $500 against $3.50 for the
new light.
Messrs. Pharo and Voorhees,, rep
resenting the J~amesburg company,
held out for a twenty-five year fran
chise and a fiat rate Of twelve dol
lars per light per year, explaining
the difference of three dollars per
light of the Jamesburg service that
the latter get a ~thirty-two candle
power light. A twenty-five year
franchise was considered two long a
period by the councilmen, but when
the cost of installation was explained
! some of the members were won over
to granting a franchise for twenty
years, a compromise. The James
burg light company's representa-
tives will report later after confer
ring with the officers of the com
pany.
1t Is thought some concessions
viii be made by the light company,
who are anxious to pass through the
borough to intsall their service at
Spotswood, who are 10Y willing to
grant the light company's requests
after seeing the plant at Jamesburg
in working order.
The bid OF contractor hue, or Old
Bridge, for the construction of the
new road on Main street was de-
ferred to further consideration as
Mr.. Rue was the only bidder. 1t
was suggested that the borough do
the work itself. This also was ia
ken under advisement.
The handsome new hose carriage
for No. 2 Company, holding one
thousand feet of hose, was reported
received and placed in headquarters.
The discarded carriage holding seven
hundred and fifty feet Of hose will
be placed in a suitable building near
the public school house for protec-
ton for that section of the village,
pending the arrival of the depart
ment in case of an alarm. 1t was
also decided to install a new electric
fire alarm system just as soon as the
new illuminant is Installed In town.

Power Company and of smaller concerns

one-tnird to one-half a normal yield
these are some Of the results Of the un-
rrecedented drought in this section. Ac-
cording to the records of the local
weather station there has been only fiji
teen inches of rain here since January l..
Small showers fell Monday night and
brought much relief in comfort. There
were showers last night, and. as if re-
sulting from the prayer services that
have been held in the city during the past
few days, it appears as though the long
needed season OF rain has begun.
Streams Are Dry.

with Stewards creek, will give the city

Cotton and corn crops in this immediate

ordinarily produces bale of cotton to
