Presents Plsns for Lighting System.
W. n. Clark, local manager of the
Arkansas Valley Railway. Light and
Power company. presented plans for
the illumination of the business sec
ton of the town by means of a more
elaborate syste moi street lighting.
He submitted proposition for the IL
Elimination OF Main street from First
TO Eighth streets by means OF new
scheme of underground wiring which
has proven very satisfactory in a
number of the smaller cities of Colo
RADIO. After an exhaustive discussion
OF the matter the council decided not
to take the proposition up this year as
It's installation would entail an ex-
pendIture that It could not afford to
make at this time The levy having al
ready been made for 1912 no plan
suggested itself whereby thS extra ex-
pense could be provided for without
crippling some other department OF
The public service. The council agreed
that the scheme presented by Mr..
Clark would be splendid thing for
Canon City and that he made an invit-
ing offer and one that may be taken
advantage of twelve months from
now.

Refuse 10 Remit Taxes
Mrs. James sheek residing on Har-

the ground that the council had no
legal right to take action in such mas
tiers. Even a. the right existed with

To .dcpt billboard Ordinance.
BlilboaTds in Canon City were again
in the lImelight and came in for their
full share OF consideration. IL seems
that every member OF the council Is
opposed to their erection within the
city limits. but IL also appears that
the council has no other recourse
than 70 permit their erection. al
though the size. materiair>height, etc.
can be regulated by the council and
some control exercised In relation TO
their location. The billboard company
endeavoring TO effect an entrance TO
Canon City in lawsuit with the pcp-
nle of Denver won its case in the
courts and the people there had TO
capitu,ate and make the best terms
with 1t possible. The council did no,
care to enter into losing tight with
the company and have about decided
to permit II TO establish itself here
under such restriction as II is able
to Impose. The council well knows
the feeling of the people generally
upon the subject OF blliboards. and
quite agrees with them as to their
undesirability. hut there seems TO be
no escape from them. although limita-
lions to their obstruslveness will be
enacted. The boards will be of iron
and cannot be erected nearer than
eight feet from any sidewalk.
