drove the stage (postillion) in Ger
many between Oldenburg and Bre-
men, and it was his privilege to have
the king ride with him.

WHITE WAY PROPOSITION
SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL

At the meeting Of the City Coun-
ell last night the Governors of the
Board of Trade appeared in body
before the Council and Secretary
Holworthy read a statement relative
to the White Way, outlining the cost
of installation, the amounts already
subscribed, the amount asked of the
city for placing the system along the
lines of it's property, ETC., and ask
ing that after installation the White
Way be accepted by the city and
maintained as part of the street
lighting system. In the discussion
which ensued it was brought out
that the chief obstacle in the way
Of the project Is the uncertainty as
to whether the municipal lighting
plant would be able to take care of
the White Way, in addition to the
heavy load it Is now carrying, and
the greatly increased consumption of
current incident to the many new
buildings now being erected and
which must be supplied with lights
Notwithstanding that only three
years ago the light plant was put
in such shape that it was thought
it would care for all demands for
many years, it is already taxed to
its utmost capacity.
The matter was finally left in the
hands of the light and water and
finance committees, which will con-
fer with the Board of Trade and see
if some arrangement looking to the
early installation of the White Way
cannot be effected. Councilman
Higgins, speaking on the matter, de-
clared it was absurd to temporize
with and try to patch up the munich
pal lighting plant, and that arrange.
ments should be made to put it in
shape to supply all demands for cur
rent both for lighting and power, de-
spite the large first cost necessary.
In this sentiment the members Of the
Council seemed generally to concur.
