Aug. 22.-Edltor Astorian The public Is glad, that the council got the light question settled before the regatta, as It would have been al most disgraceful If the city had been In darkness during the regatta. It Is to be hoped that the city will profit by Its four months' experience In dark ness and not get Into that predica ment again. The council deserve a vote of thanks for not tying the city up In a long contract. Competition 'In the light business Is what this community wants. and If the council had made, a long contract. Just that long would .com petition have been barred. If the city ever gets low rates on lights It will have to be done by competition, which Is th life of trade. Now the water commission will have plenty of time to get the best plans and all the . Information obtainable, and by having plenty of time, can construct a lighting system at the least possible cost.
