city should use its own electric light
plant In lighting the city buildings. in
stead of taking the current from the
Topeka Edison company. At present
the city buys current from the Edison
company to light the city's light plant.
but this fact is not as strange as IL

only during the night time. while the
Edison company gives q day and night
service.
During the year 1918. according to
Porter's figures. the city paid the Edi-
son company $471.S2 for lighting the
City hall and Auditorium, $115.25 for
lighting the Jail. $50 for the city water

street fire department, $48.05 for the
