Lester Walker, Jr., informed us

to put in an electric light plant

some time ago by the city council

trical company will be here next
week to confer with Mr. Walker in
regard to the machinery and neces
sary supplies, and an order for the
material will be pjaced at that
time.
Although Mr. Walker believes
that the present council is opposed
to making a contract with him for
street lights, he proposes to put in
the plant, demonstrate its clhcicucy
and rely on future councils seeing
the wisdom of contracting lor as
many street lights as the city can
afford to run. in the meantime de
riving his revenue from the incan
descent lights taken by indivldvals.
