BOARD VOTES
To PURCHASE
NEW LAMPS
City Proposes to Install New
Bulbs But Will Not Alter
Present System Without
Petition.

Monday a contract will be let by thu
city for q new type Of pendant lamp,
to take the place Of the worn ou
lamps which have been in service sc
many years." said Mayor Robbins to
lay.
These new lamps will be installed
throughout every residential district
and will also be placed on the Main
street business district and the North
E street and Fort Wayne avenue
business district the same as the
lamps which now illuminate those
streets.
This plan has been under considera
ton for a week and was finally ap
proved at meeting attended today by
Mayor Robbins and members Of the
board of public works.
This plans means that the contract
let Monday will not provide for either
an ornamentalconduit system in the
two business districts nor their illum.
lnation by lamps suspended by brack.
cts to tralley poles.
File No Petition.
"The question as to how the bust.
ness districts shall be lighted has
caused much discussion of late and
40 decision has been reached The
board does not desire to be arbitrary
Ind install trolley pole lamps SO long
Is there appears to be any opposition
70 such an arrangement. Hence no
arrangement for the permanent illum-
nation OF the streets in those dis
tricts will be made at the present
time as much as l regret the delay in
providing white ways in those dis
tricts." Mayor Robbins said today.
THE board now, as 1t always has,
stands ready to act on any petition
for a conduit lighting system on the
principal business streets when such
petition Is presented in the manner
recognized by law but in the absence
Of such a petition the permanent H.
Eliminating system for such streets
will be held in allegiance. If next
Tuesday petition presented by even
one resident property owner for the
installation of a conduit lighting sys-
tenn on the street where he resides
Is presented to the board then the
board will proceed to take immediate
action on this petition and in the
event 1t is successfully demonstrated
against the board will refer it to the
city council for final action. If the
petition is not successfully remon-
strated against then the improvement
will be made and the city will share
that part of the cost which it would
have expended for the installation Of
a trolley pole bracket system, the ad-
ditional cost being assessed against all
classes Of property owners.
I'm the meantime. pending some
definite action on the part Of the
property owners in the business dis
tricts, the work of installing new
lamps of a modern type in the resi-
dental districts will be pushed and
they will be ready for use before
winter"

of the efficiency commission cannot
affect the present incumbents of the

COURT UPHOLDS STATE
SPEED LAWS, LIMIT 80 MILES

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 8.-That
bugbear of automobilists, the "speed
cop" who lies in wait to pounce upon
drivers who exceed the stingy limit
set by the local authorities, has lost
his power as result of the decision
of the district court of appeals for the
third district in upholding the opinion
of the attorney general that the state
automobile laws are supreme.
Hereafter the state speed law is the
only thing that need be obeyed. 1t
allows thirty miles on hour on the
highways. In "built up highway it
allows fifteen miles, and where the
drivers views are obstructed, or at
corners, curves, or at crossings, the
speed allowed is one mile in six min
utes.
municipalities have no right to set a
rate below this, and then collect fines
for municipal protection. The state
law of 1913 must be enforced, and the
fines turned over for road purposes.
In all ways where the state law is in
contest with local laws, the state law
is the only one that need be needed.
Automobilists have been fighting for
this uniform law for years, and the de-
cision is hailed with delight. The de-
cision is given down in test case
started in Merced. 1t is signed by
Judges Chipman, Hart and Burnett.
