May 7 Amerieus Hook and Xiaddc Company of W'oodhaven held a stormy meeting its house at W'oodhaven last night. They found their rooms, which have been 'lighted for throe or four months by the Jamaica Township Lighting Company, in darkness, and were obliged to scour the neighborhood for kerosene lamps. The company were then informed by the secretary that he had received notice that if the officials of the Hook and Ladder Company did not come up to the electric lighting company's office at once and make some arrangements as to future cost of the lights their lights would be situ; off on and after May 1. As no regular meeting night of the company took place before that date no official action could be taken concerning the notice, and in consequence the light ivys shut off on May 1. About the time thai the electric light company was seeking to get a contract from the Jamaica township authorities to light all the farming districts of the town Mr.

Williamson, the superintendent, notified the members of the company that if they would wire his house his company would furnish them with the light they needed free of cost. It was known by the company that among the fifty five members were some active and prominent politicians, with considerable influence. The company went to an expense of between forty and fifty dollars in "wiring the house and expected to be furnished with light for at has: a year. The members ed resolutions condemning the action of the company and a committee was appointed 'to furnish the facts to the press. The members allege that now that the town is consolidated with New York the electric light company Is under the impression that the fire boys have no political influence and have change their benevolent tactics.

They say that if the lighting company had waited until their regular meeting and sent someone to consuli; with them concerning the matter they would have made arrangements to pay a reasonable sum for the use of the light, but that new they will no: use the company's light under any consideration and that tr.ey will be joined by ttm whole of the Woadhaven Fire Department in their action.
