City debate over transformers and municipal lighting finances
Kelsonville July 23. The Russell Engine Company and a friendly party financed transformers for the city light plant to enable commercial lighting. The Board of Public Service faced funding gaps and questioned ownership, while the city earned about 400 dollars monthly from the arrangement, sufficient to cover transformer costs and maintain current expenses. The dispute centers on whether the transformers belong to the city or to an outside party and how to fund a additional 2000 dollars for continued operation.

Origin of Hobsocy's Choice in Cambridge
The proverb traces to Thomas Hobson a Cambridge carrier born about 1544 who hired horses and carried passengers between his home and the Bull Fishopsygate. The saying arose from his rule of “this or none” as each horse was sent out in turn. He grew rich, funded a spinning house cell for disreputable women, and Milton wrote epitaphs praising him after plague travel ceased.
