port on Feasibility of Installation.
Prohibition Debate.

Correspondence of The Star
HiATTSVILLE, Md. November 81
Ine city council tonight is to look further
into the project of installing a municipal
lighting plant. Mayor John G. Holden is
to report what he has learned as to the
feasibility of installing such plant as
the result of a consultation during the
week with electrical engineers. In case
the council votes favorably on the propo-
requires must be within ten days, when
the voters of the town will decide whether
the town is to have the plant or not. Many
are supporting the proposition on the
ground that it is a progressive movement
and that the town is large enough 70
support plant. on the other hand
many hold the belief that the town is not
sound enough financial condition to
undertake to keep up such plant, the
1cSI OF maintenance of which, it is con-
tended. would be i'll excess of what the
town IS now paying for light.
A preliminary debate on prohibition was
