It is authoritatively stated that one ma ter of business whict Will be brought to the attention Of the municipal fathers of Fairbanks a, their meeting this evening is that of the fauHy lighting systems which exist i'll ailbanks. The council and the citizens of the town are spurred on to pursue such an inveS- tigation by the fact that the Cali fornia fire was caused by an cX- plosion, either as the result of a faulty system or carelessneSs tn handling it.
 And the California is not the first instance known in Fairbanks of fire resulting from faulty systems, al though it had to burn and one life had to pay for the investigat on which is now to be made. Several weeks ago a like explosion was only narrowly aver,ed in business house in the heart Of the business dis trict, by the prompt action of those who happened to be present.
 Immediately after he disastrous fire at the California, number of the business men of the city who had the gasoline lighting systems discontinued their use, However, t Is very probab ble that but few of the systems are faulty. most of them being safe if handled with care.
