LIGHT ACTION OF JUNEAU MAY BE
 FOLLOWED
Douglas Will probably do Same as Juneau and Accept Proposition
 of Old Company.

DOUGLAS, July Tt is realized here that the action of the Juneau city council last night in accepting the proposition of the Alaska Flee tric Light and Power Company to supply that city with it's product for the next five years will necessarily decide the course taken by Douglas concerning the same question, the propositions to both cities from the Light company, as well as from the Treadwell company, being practically identical
 As the Treadwell company has withdrawn it's contract submitted to by the council of that city, the com pany would not likely consider a con- tract to supply Douglas with light and power as the quantity required for such purpose would not be suf- ficient to justify it in engaging in the business and this town will, no doubt, accept the proposition sub mitted by the Light company and contract with it on the five year bas- is as was done by Juneau.
 The fact remains, however, that light and power is henceforth just one half of what it was previous to the agitation for cheaper rates being started and for that fact, it is felt here that credit is due the Island company. However. the service of the Alaska Electric Light & Power company is good one and now that satisfactory rates have been ar ranged, there is no reason why the relations of the producers and con sumers should not be of the most harmonious nature
