Schools in Marshf ield have uot yet been opened, but the the atres and pool halls have. been allowed to runi The plan of placing a Quarantine on houses where cases exist 'has proved much .more effective In combatting the disease than the old plan of closing the business of the city.

Rajfway, Light & Power Co. Would Cut Price Only for Five-Year Contract. There is still no competition for Port land's l$200,000-a-year public -lighting buslneM. The Portland Railway, Light & Power company apparently bore this little detail in mind when submitting a lone bid to illuminate city streets and pubjic buildings, for if the city should duplicate its present contract with the company it will have to pay Just as much as it is now being forced to con' tribute.- On a basis of a two-year con' tract, the company offers to fur.nlsh electricity for arc lamps fed by over head wires for $51 a year per lamp; for lamps fed by underground wires, $62.60. If the city should decide to let a three-year " contract there would still be no reduction .from the present high price, according to the tender of the company. ' The only opportunity to get even a slight reduction is for the city to tie Itself up to. a five-year contract? In that event the company offers to shade its prices to this extent For yean ndinc: Overhead. Uodercround.

There is no difference made in -the price whether the city signs up for one year or for five. - The lighting bid will be considered by the city council . Thursday morning.
