To Light Corvallis Lower Rates Than Former Offers Ben Tones of Toledo Makes it. ; ,. Two propositions for street light ing are pending before the city coun cil, ': One by the local electric light company was submitted three weeks ago and has since been under con sideration. The other was unex pectedly thrown before the council at a meeting Monday night ' - The new proposition is by B F, Jones the Toledo attorney, of whom it is supposed that he is making the offer in his capacity as a lawyer. His rates are even lower than the very low rates offered by' the elec tric light company. On a 20 years contract, Mr Jones offers to supply the city with arc lights at five dol- lers per month, as against the 16.25 per month offered by Mr. Porter s company. He . offers incandescent street lamp's at '$1.25 ' per month, Mr. Porters - offer being -$ 1 46 On a 10 years franchise, , Mr , Jones offers arcs at $6. 25 per month as against Mr, , Porter's $7 08 per month, and incandescents at 1 50 to Mr Porter's $2. Mr, Jones offer of a ten years contract is practically the same as . the local' company's terms on a 2o years basis, the only difference-being that the latters fig ures for incandescents is $1.45 while Mr Jones asks -. $i,.5o per month. Mr. Jones was present at the coun cil meeting, and submitted his offer in person. ., His proposition isv as follows- city of Corvallis - shall : have . the right and privilege of purchasing said electric light plant at the end of five years from the date of the completion of said electric light system, and every five years there after during the life of said fran chise, upon such terms ai may be just to both parties and to be stip ulated in said contract. .. " B. F. Jones, When asked by a councilman with reference to his backiug, Mr. Jones said he was ready to give a good and sufficient bond to guar antee that he would begin the con struction of a system within 40 days after the execution of con tract and thattthe system would.be in operation within " eight months' thereafter. In answer to inquiry with reference to the arc lights he would furnish, he said . that they would be of standard size. COUNCIL , CONSIDERING BOTH. of Correct Material for Eye Glasses Albany Herald.

I will furnish a good and sufficient bond to be approved by the common council, or mayor thereof for the fulfillment of said contract. -: r; Prooosition: I will . , light the city of Corvallis for the. following prices towit: - For each " arc ligh f used by the city fi ve ' dollars per month; for each 25. candle power inoandescent lamp used for street lighting. $1.25 per month; the same to be paid monthly, providing how ever that the city of Corvallis shall take all of the lights used by the city of Corvallis for the period of 20 years, REDUCTION TO CONSUMERS. :- Second proposition: For a ten years franchise; I will furnish the same lights as above mentioned at tbe following prices towit: For each arc light used by the city, $6.25 per month, and for each 25 candle power ' incandescent - light used by the -city, for street light ing gi.50 per montn; providing however, that the city ' shall take all their lights for a period of ten years. . ::;;X A liberal reduction will be made to private consumers, the common council reserving the right to reg ulate the rate to be paid by private consumers for lights. That " the The council is considering both propositions. The special . light committee consisting of Henkle, Avery and Rose changed the con tract for the original proposition of the local company, reducing the term to fifteen years, and also by cutting out tne clause wnicn pro vides that at least $900 worth of light shall be taken per year, be sides making other alterations of a minor character. This amended contract, to which the electric light company had not agreed, was sub mitted and read at the council meet ing. : At the same time the propo sition of Mr. Jones was laid before the council. At first, consideration ot tne Sorter propostion and con tract was postponed until the next monthly meeting, but the motion was subsequently reconsidered, and final consideration set for next Monday night. Meantime, the con sideration of the Jones offer was fixed for an adjourned meeting of the council to have been held last night after the Times went to press. The latter proposition was referred to a special committee, consisting of Councilmen Colbert, Porter and Henkle, who were at work yester day on the matter. ' ' TIED TO OLD OFFER. By an . unusual vote at ' Monday night's meeting, several of the councilmen are partly committed to the offer of the local company. Mr, Porter was present at the proceed ings, and a random discussion of the matter .was in progress. He was asked if he would accept the contract as reported to the council by the special light committee, cut ting the terms from 20 to' 1 5 years maintaining the figures for lights at $6 -25 for ares and Sr 46 : tor in candescents, and assenting to the abolishment of the provision requi ring that tooo worth of light be taken per year. . Mr Porter would not agree to accept it, but indicated that he would take it under advise ment for a few days. ' Then a mo tion was made to take a. test vote on the question to determine what members would favor giving: Mr. Porter's company a 15 years con tract, the Jones offer to the contra ry notwithstanding. -This motion was adopted, and then the test motion put- Those who voted fa vorable to the 15 years contract for Mr Porter's company were, Hen kle, Crees, Taylor, Cameron, Por ter, . Hodes and , Rose; against it Colbert, absent Avery. . Must Have Room.
