Swanson, district head of the lighting company. It was brought out council and the Jight company effected a compromise m-former contracts, for the light company to grant free illumination for local municipal buildings, in exchange for exoneration of payment of taxes on light poles in the borough. The revenue from 300 poles would amount to it was reported, according to an ordinance enacted in 1899, levying a cost of 30 cents each. The light company presented figures claiming the lighting of the fire hall and borough hall consumed slightly over $100 wenh of current for the fiscal year ending May 1. Swanson stated the granting of the free lighting clause to a community was in violation of the regulations of the Public Service commission, raying it was a discrimination other communities, which he claimed were not given the same benefits.

Swanson finally advised his company would agree to the alternative of paying a pole tax, but would reject a free lighting clause. Council favored the free lighting service, in pieference to collecting the pole tax and decided to return the contract. Present weie Philip Nelson, president; S.

When Clarence Mitchell, hard-hitting Brooklyn pitcher, stepped to the plate in that fifth inning, there was a man on first base and another on second, and ho ideal scoring situation for Brooklyn, for a hit was almost certain to mean a run.
