stated that while he had gone into

care TO do 30 until ha had a clearer
understanding Of the contract; uf

some Of the present merchants con-
tracing drop out, and also az 20 ak
aetly what saving the city might ex-
pect by reduction IN the number Of

Mr, Skinner made tho char oppo-
sition to action by tho council. He
stated that he had been advised By
no less than six attorneys that the
city had no legal right to make an APP
preparation Of the character indicated
by the contract but that he had not
consulted the city attorney. City At
torney Lester. being asked for an
opinion. stated that the city undoubt-
eddy had a right 20 make appropria-
ton for street lighting or lighting
equipment and that there would be
no Legal obstacle in the way OF the
appropriation should the council de-
sire 70 make Il.
SIR. skinner then based his oppo.
sltlon upon the ground that all Of
1 the merchants along the street had
rot signed the contract, and that q
would be premature for the council
20 take any further action until the
entire frontage necessary had been
signed up. He said ID would then be
time 20 bring the matter before the
council. Urged by Mr.. stern and MT.

Of the close approach Of p0ving 0per-
latiOns. MT. skinner persisted IN his
Opposition and declared he would de-
cline TO move IN the matter until the
prelimlnarics had been completed.
After discussion covering more than
an hour. In which the proposed light
ing system was warmly advocated bs
the business men present, the coun-
ell determined TO postpone action
