Last Friday evening being quite
stormy, the attendance at the meeting
of the Stafford Federation was not
very large. The trolley cars were not
and no one attended from
outside of the borough, SO it was de-
cided to postpone the election of Off
GERS to another meeting. Manager
Lewis of the electric. light company
was present to explain, the extra cost
of an all-night service and to answer
questions in regard to the electric
lights. 1t is stated that the cost of
the all-night service is much smaller
than has been reported. It was de-
cided also to postpone this talk to the
next meeting, which will be an
nounced later. There are so many
other meetings to be held within the
next ten days that it is necessary to
postpone this meeting until some time
in April.
