Por.om ressnn or another the city coun cil wa not ready to take action on th proposed lighting contract with the Cltl en's Ga and Electric company and th matter went over until next Monday night. Th proposed contract, however, did not go over without discussion. In fact about two. hour were devoted to a discussion of It. Every member of the council had his ay, a did several cltlsen from the lobby. Th main objection raised last night agalnat the. proposed contract waa that the rate to be charged for arc light Is greater than that paid In Omaha. Council man Wallace led the objection on this point and wa seconded by Mayor Macrae. A. C. Keller, president of the .West Coun cil Bluff Improvement club, spoke tin th same line against the contract, aa did former Councilman Boyer, who at different timet decupled the floor the greater por tlon of the discussion, Boyer accused the commute of .having the contract "dic tated' to them and to thla Councilman Maloney toolt exception,' as '3 Id City So licitor Kimball. At this point the dis cussion . became somewhat- personal and for a while It looked as If tbere might be some pyrotechnics, but Mayor Macrae averted the Impending storm by. suggesting to the clerk to proceed to the next order ot business. A statement by Fir Chief Jones through tha columns of a local paper relative to Mayor Macrae'a chargea regarding the prise money , won at Clinton and other matter In connection with the same were at th request of the mayor referred to the com mittee on fire and light for investigation.

' - The request of property owner that tha alx-foot cement walk on th north aide of Pierce street bet werti Glen avenue and Bluff street be stricken from the sidewalk contract aa not necessary was granted. The council heard from tha dredge again. Property owner In the vicinity of where it la moored In th creek notified the council that they , would sue for dam agea unleaa It was removed forthwith. It was said that Contractor Wlckhara waa merely removing the dredge and not th wooden structure on which It was.

' Ths council man from the Fourth ward denied In toto Major Richmond' assertion, . and - for- a brief period while tha two exchanged cour tesies - the mercury In th. thermometer raised several degrees. As th bill had been ordered paid there waa nothing more to do about It,, so the matter waa finally dropped. GOOD WEIGHT.
