The issue that is | supposed to be before the people is the municipalization of lighting pumping and coal supply. But whether that is the real issue and is not itself side issue is doubted by | some. At any rate the arguments for and against were certainly, tho | most vociferous and you could get chin music from every human | photograph you wished to crcnk up by just starting the record on this subject.
