MttTltWi OF Oil R CITY LAW MAKERS LAST HldHT rate of ope The question of electric llghta re ceived considerable consideration at the council meeting last evening. Councilman Dunn was of the opinion that the Grande Ronde Electric Light company had not done everything In Its power to furnish lights during the past 30 days; that he had interviewed Superintendent F. O. Taylor, of the Amalgamated Sugar company, who stated that their plant, which con sisted of a 260-horse power engine and 200 tons of coal, was at their disposal; that the sugar company felt that they were largely Interested In the city and would have offered their plant at a very reasonable price. However, negotiations had never got to that point, as the light company stated that conditions were such that they could not "hook up" to their power. Taking advantage of a clause in the present lighting contract , with the city, the council passed a resolution Instructing the recorder to notify the light company, by giving them 0 days' notice that they would consider the proposition of cancelling the present contract and further directed the recorder to communicate with the cities of The Dalles, Walla Walla, Pendleton and Baker City and ascer tain what scale of prices they were paying for street lights. Our con tract was made August 26, 1900, for three years, on a basis of 80 HghU at $8 per month; 85 to 89 lights for $7.75, and In excess of 3 llghta 87.60 per light. While this action on the part of the council does not mean that it will cancel Its contract, It may do so If it Is found that we are pay ing more for light than other cities. F. A. Blackwell, proprietor of the State saloon, offered a bond signed by the Fidelity Surety company, to take the place of the personal bond filed at the time he made application for his license. This was something new, and the council looked so favor ably upon this manner of furnishing bonds, that It may require all uch bonds to be furnished by bonding companies. L.

The judges and clerks of election were appointed and the recorder In structed to issue the usual notice of city election as required by the charter. The question of granting a liquor license to B. F. Wade was held up until the adjourned meeting Monday night. In view of the fact that this license, If granted regularly, would run over into the period when the 81000 license takes effect, the coun cil haa not yet decided upon a plan of issuing licenses so that all will ex pire on July 15, the date of the $1.- 000 license becomes effective. A plan will be adopted Monday night The report of the special commit tee appointed by the mayor to Inves tigate the present supply of water in Beaver creek, was read and, owing to the fact that the committee made Its Investigation at no expense what ever to the city, the council naturally was so confident that they had con- scIentlonBly performed their duty, a vote of thanks was unanimously voted by the council. Mayor Richardson Instructed the proprietors of billiard halls and bowl ing alleys that If they permitted boys of less than 18 years of age to enter their places of business, their licenses would be cancelled. A petltoln for a five-foot sidewalk on Jackson avenue to North uircn street was read, and favorable action taken. The usual reports of officers were read and bills against the city ordered paid.

The meeting was marked by humility and prayerfulness. Cottage prayer meet ings were held during December and throughout the meeting. Thus God was acknowledged and He certainly blessed those who trusted Him. We believe that many more will shortly obey the Lord. This week we hold seven prayer meetings.
