One Way To Retrench.

The GreenvilIe City Council is still
trying to retrench in the matter OF
municipal expenses. At the last
monthly meeting a committee of
councilmen reported to the council
that they have submitted a PROPOSE
ton to the Greenville Light and
Water Company by the terms of
which the city would take % lights
at the price of $45.0O per year. the
lights to burn until 11:3O at night
and then be turned off until $3.50 A.
M; Heretofore the city has been
paying $65:00 per year each for lights
and having allnight service. Some
light reductions are being made in
the price of the Fl e plugs also which
will save the city something like
$500.00 per year in expense.
