ADVICE FROM EVERY
REPUBLICAN," He SAYS

date for the presidency, formally an

Il will see every Republican,; all

Minimum Cost of Bridge
Lighting Sc, ,558, Says Dillon

Disputing the estimates made by
certain city officials to support their
contention that temporary lighting
system for the new Main street
bridge can be installed for approxi
mately $4,000 under private contract,
James P Dillon, superintendent of
the municipal electric light plant.
Thursday presented a detailed esti-
mate to show that the work would
cost not less than S6.558
In making this estimate, Mr. Dillon
did not figure in the cost of bringing
the current to the bridge from the
Main street system, or from the mu-
nicipal plant. This cost would bring
the total expenditure close to $1,000,
in his opinion.
Mr.. Dillon points out that the Off
cials who hold that the bridge lighting
system can be installed for about
$4,000 omitted from their estimates
about half the cable which would be
required, lamp globes and a few other
necessary items.
He also stated that he had no par
ticular desire for the municipal plant
to install the bridge system, providing
it could be put in at less cost under
private contract, but he is of the opin-
ion that the city can do the work as
cheaply as a private contractor.
