LIGHTING co. MAKES
 NEW CONCESSIONS
Willing to Reduce Price Per Light
 to $19.5O, SeleCtmen Hear
ASK TRAMWAY co. TO BID


 newed-Stocl<holder To Meet Body of Suicide Identified-Briefs New concessions offered hv the United Electric Light and Water company for renewal of the con- tract for street lighting were report ed to the selectmen at their weakly meeting last evening. No action was taken by the board, the members having decided to first get figures from the Bristol and Plainville Tram way company, which, they understand has franchise rights for lighting here.
 Although G. F. Atwater, the com- pany's representative in this district told the board some time ago that it would be impossible to reduce the price unless a ten years contract was made, the selectmen were informed last evening that the town would have to pay but $19.5O for each lamp on making five year agreement. At present the cost of each .incandescent it $20. In addition to lowering the cost, the company has" agreed to fur. nish lamps of eighty candle power to replace those now in use. Sixty candle power bulbs now serve in lighting the streets.
 As the town is at present using over 120 lamps, the saving under the proposed five year renewal will exceed $60 a year, should the voters favor the agreement. On ten year con- tract the price would be reduced to $19 a year.
 First Selectman Johnson told his associates that he had taken up the cf i~r11f ip>~r TD. company and it's officers have prom tsed to submit bid within a few days. Both propositions will be put before the voters at a special town meeting to be held about Devember 18th.
