ALL CLUSTER LIGHTS
WILL SOON Be USED
Arrangements About CompIet-
ed by Which They Will Be
Operated.
ASK COMPANY FOR RATES
This May Be the Result Soon of the
Work Now Being Done by
Committee.

That all cluster light on the streets
Of Salem will be used at no distant date
seems probable today, as progress has
been made toward an agreement be.
tween the city and the Portland Bail
way, Light & Power Company, The ne.
gotiations are being conducted through
the light committee, and the committee
has asked the company for low rate
on a five.year contract. 1t is expected
that General Manager Hamilton, Of the
light company, will be ready to submit
a proposition to the committee some day
this week. The general public, as well
as business men, will appreciate a set
tlement of the much.discussed problem.
1t is admitted that the lights have a
great advertising value, and the city
light committee is confident that a low
rate will be secured. During the miI.up
with the city over the payment some Of
the business men have discontinued tho
use of the lights, and the effect has
been spoiled.
While ll6 lights have been installed,
many have been maintained by the city,
county and state. Under the new ar.
rangement the city will take care Of
those in front Of municipal property and
those belonging to merchants. The mer.
chants, as rule, claim that the city
should have taken over the light mainte.
nance early this year, and others assert
that the lights should have been taken
over the first of 1912.
The city has appropriated $15,5OO for
lighting during the present year, and
this will be ample to take care of the
cluster lights, as well as others.
"The company has not figured q
profit on cluster lighting" said Gener.
al Manager Hamilton this morning.

beautify the city, and have encouraged
