No tenlty wul be collected by the
city from tha Portland General Electric
company for failure fo keep street
lights burning' in tha past IS months.
It was : decided at a meeting oi tne
street lighting committee of the execu
tive board yesterday afternoon that the
lt.710 which City Engineer Wanser
stated had been paid ta the electric com
pany in excesa of the amount due in ac
cordance with the contract, oould not be
collected, aa the bills bad been settled
and agreed on aa correct by both parties.
' Hereafter a close 'record of all- light
reported out will be kept . Whenever a
light la found, by a, patrolman to be out
ba will immediately notify police head
quarters!, which In turn will report to
tha electric company. Men will ba sen(
immediately to repair1 the lamp. ' If the
darkness la due ta causes over which
the company haa no control and if tha
lamp Is immediately repaired a demur
rage will be collected for the time the
light ia out on tha basis of tha actual
coat of the lights to tha city. If the
light ia not Immediately repaired and if
it haa become extinguished because of
negligence of tha company i cents will
ba forfeited,
President H. W. Ooode of tha Port
land General Kleotrio oompaoy thought
no deduction -should bo made for the
time tha lights were out, providing it
waa found that the -company waa not
responsible,, and that if their failure to
burn was due ta the negllgenoe oi the
company an amoont baaed on the rste
of 10 cents a night should ba deducted
for tha actual time tha lights were out.
This plan did not meet with the ap
proval of' tho committee, - City Engi
neer Wanser waa Arm In tha stand he:
bad taken, and Mayor Williams agreed
with him. George M. Howell also de
clared that' the 10 cents .demurrage
should be collected. . . . . ..
Mr. Goode acknowledged that they had
been experimenting with. new lights In
tha business section of the city, but
stated that their experiments had been
successful.
The February bill, which Mr. Wanser
refused to approve, will be carefully
scrutinised by tha committee, and some
plan of settlement will ba decided on.
Tha bill - waa for e.Tsl. while Mr.
Wanser stated that It should have been
11.04. -'
A settlement between tha electric
company and tha city will ba made each
morning. .
. City Attorney McNary was asked to
draw up aA agreement as outlined at tha
meeting and to present it to tha commit
tee, when other changes may ba made.
The penalty clause In the contract may
be changed to conform, ,o the plan sug
gested for tha adjustment of the amount
to ba forfeited to tha city.

For years a pack of gaunt and ragged

been added to by other stray dogs who
