It proposes 1300 and 1200 candle power fittings, nightly operation from sunset to midnight, and a 15 year contract with an option to purchase at arbitration. The plan includes rates for private consumers and a possible water supply tie-in with electricity for pumping, with council deliberations to set aside estimates and appoint a special engineer for review.

Disrupted Services Amidst Local Church Notices
A fragment from a Manilla area page records church services for Manilla Hall's Creek and Somerton plus Rev. Norman Makin at the Fellowship Association. The piece shifts to a sequence of local incidents: a litigious disruption in Marseilles, a prediction of Dominion wealth parity with the United States, a fatal electricity accident at a Prymont tin yard, bees and beehive mishaps, a farmer's wheat yields from 804 acres and 12 acres, and a fatal horse accident involving George Brown and the rider Apps. A collection for Brown's family raised £20.
