of four different schedules, and pro-
vides that the company shall not be
obliged to extend it's pole line more
than 800 feet or it's street lighting
wire more than 500 feet for any addi-
tional street lamp.
The four schedules embodied in the
contract are respectively: the all
night moonlight schedule in which the
lights are burned from one-half
hour after sunset to one-half hour be-
fore sun rise on ever dark night and
on the dark hours of every moonlight
night; the one o'clock moonlight
schedule, in which the lights are kept
on until the two above are a choice
and which is only in force for six
months of each year; the last SEIZED
ule is for the lighting of the esplan-
ade. All of these schedules give prices
per year for the various sizes of Type
c. Nitrogen lamps of various Sizes
When any of the lamps are out for
more than one day the city is not
| obliged to pay for the lamp during
thta time and pro rata reduction is
| made. In the Burgoyne Esplanade
schedule, the company agrees to
paint each light standard once each
year. 1t is also agreed to indemni.
fy the city from any damage or loss
claims, arising out of the erection OF
lamps, poles wires and other fixtures
| A relocation of any city lamp will
be made by the company for a sum
not exceeding five dollars.
| Under the present contract with the
DaytOna Public Service company the
| city pays for the esplanade lights
$1,S96.S4, and for the arc and incan
descent lights on the streets of the city
$3.50, making a total of $6,7S6S4
With the same number of lights under
the new agreement the cost will be
1920, making a considerable estimat
ed saving to the city, of $1,526.S4. The
new rates are based on price OF
$22.7O per year for 1OO-candle power

NEARLY A BAD FIRE At
CASINO TUESDAY MORNING

A narrowly averted cOnflagratiOn
took place at the Heating Casino about
6:15 Tuesday morning when a log in
the fire place of the main hall rolled
out of the CRATE and was not discov-
cred until it had burned a hole through
the floor and setting fire to other parts
of the woodwork. AS soon as the fire
was discovered. neighbors to the Ca
sino gave assistance and soon put out
the fire with water. before the local
fire department was called. After the
fire was out, an alarm was sent in and
the fire whistle was blown.
If this fire had not been discovered.
more than half of the beach front
cottages would probably have burn
