Joint Session Weighs Electric vs Gas Lighting Bid
A city council joint session tonight will decide bids for lighting the city buildings. The Hecht committee split on electric light versus gas, with a tie vote and no action after reconsideration. The gas bid was 483 dollars, the electric bid about 29 dollars higher, and both proposals were replayed for new advertisement. The session drew attention from local operatives and a Knights of the Maccabees degree team visiting for the event. After midnight, members enjoyed a social luncheon at Coddington Thompson’s, and the chanter will stay open thirty days for new applicants, with meetings moved to the second and fourth Wednesday at the Leader building.
