The struggle is really worse than the French revolution and much bloodshed may be expected. The rioting now is something terrible and the authorities are calling out all the army reserves to cope with it. It is feared, also, that the army is disaffected. Soldiers and Strikers Clash Paris, Oct. 13.���There was a clash between the soldiers and the strikers in front of the offices of La Humanite, a Socialist newspaper, this morning and a bitter fight ensued. The 'offices of the newspaper were raided on an order lrom the government. The soldiers found all the entrances barricaded and threatened to fire through the windows il the refugees within the office were not given up. M. Jaures, one of the editors and a member of the assembly ap- RICHER PLACED ON HIS TRIAL JURY RETURNS VERDICT OF MAN SLAUGHTER Accused Told His Story in Straightforward Manner and Impressed Jury���Four Witnesses from Prince Rupert Gave Evidence. (Special to the Optimist) Vancouver, Oct. 13.���After less than a two hours' hearing yesterday afternoon the Richer case was given to the jury, who returned a verdict of manslaughter. A* H. McNeill appeared for the prosecution and the case for the crown rated solely on the statements made by the accused. Four witnesses were ailed by C. N. Haney, counsel for the defence. These witnesses were Dr. Tremayne, Police Sergeant Regan and |*o whose testimony had no direct waring on the case. Richer told his story in a straightforward manner which impressed the jury* He said he had been drinking ��r three days. He went to bed with "eaudoin and woke up with the rifle �� lm hand and hearing Beaudoin say, 'Mi have shot me." Justice Murphy summed up rather ���Wast the prisoner, seeming to in- tlmate that the weapon used evidence of premeditation. peared at one of the windows and shouted a defiance to the police. As he was stepping back a bullet splintered the window frame just above his head. This was the signal for a general fussilade from both sides in which eight were seriously wounded and thirty others badly bruised. Eventually the soldiers captured the building and the police entered. They arrested six Socialists leaders and a number of men. Those among the latter who were not strikers were released. Thousands of strikers are patrolling the streets and the situation becomes more threatening all the time. The Apaches are busy under the cloak of the strike disorders. The police being called out on strike duty leaves these robbers and murderers a free hand. All personal property is therefore unsafe and the Department de la Seine is very much hampered by the thousands of tourists and foreigners calling for protection. The Chamber of Deputies intends to rush through a whipping post order this evening. Uneasiness in England London, Oct. 13.���The siuccess of the j French strikers is causing great unrest | in all transportation circles in England. ! The compromise effected a short time i ago is far from satisfactory and the unions are watching the struggle in France very closely. Peter Brown and Austin Matthews, the two Indians charged with theft of provisions, etc., from P. Burn's store at Hazelton came before Judge Young in the County Court this morning. They pleaded guilty but as the goods had been returned Judge Young treated the case leniently. The prisoners were sentenced to one year each at Westminster. They will go down by the Prince Rupert tonight. MEAT MARKET PROJECTED LOCAL INTERESTS IN SCHEME PLANNED Swift & Co., of Chicago also Said to be Interested in the Formation of New Meat Company Here. Fine Retail Mart May be Established. The County Court case of Kennedy vs. Morang and Chiene has been struck out of the list with costs by Judge Young at the request of L. Patmore.

(Special to the Optimist) "London, Oct. 13.���The Crippen-triafj- has been fixed for next Tuesday, the trial judge refusing to grant more than one day in answer to the request of the defence. When the prisoner is placed in the dock on Tuesday morning the clerk of the court will read the indictment. Couched in legal and medical phraseology it will probably take a roll of paper several feet long to enumerate the charges against the accused man. For possible twenty minutes the clerk j as a recognition of her brave deed. will continue the reading. At the end he' " " will ask the prisoner whether he pleads "guilty.or not guilty." After the plea is entered the work of selecting the jury begins. Under British procedure this is a far less troublesome thing than in America. The jurors are sworn and the examinations are of the briefest possible sort. Though each side has the right of challenge, it is not restored to often and then only in cases where it is known that a juryman is markedly antagonistic to either side. It is rumored that a meat company is likely to be organized and. capitalized by local people to carry on business in Prince Rupert, Stewart and other towns. It is understood that the Swift Company, of Chicago, are anxious to get a share of the meat business in Northern British Columbia having a large plant and abattoirs now in Vancouver. The Optimist is informed that if the cntemplated plans mature, one of the finest retail meat markets in British Columbia will be established in Prince Rupert. "LESS NOISE," SAYS JUDGE Jeanette D. Rudge, who Receives Humane Society Medal To-night Mrs. Rudge is the wife of Mr. Fred. Rudge of Port Essington. Last spring Mrs. Rudge jumped into the surging waters of the Skeena and rescued her young nephew, Jack Berriman, from drowning. Tonight she will be presented with the bronze medal of the Royal Humane Society of London, England, as a recognition of her brave deed. The presentation will be made by William Manson, M. P. P., in the observation room of the Prince Rupert at 7.30 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Rudge go south tonight. a big station in Brooklyn to cut the price of oil in New York. The Gates syndicate has influential backing and all the capital it can possibly need. 1 m eastern cities and plans j hundred feet. Fourteen Bodies Recovered | Starkville, Oct. 13.���(Special)���Fourteen bodies have been taken from the Colorado Fuel company's mine. Eight more have been located and thirty- three are still missing. The workers have penetrated into the mine six In County Court When A. Manson and L. Patmore Get to Grip Alex Manson and L. Patmore got so emphatic over their legal contentions in the County Court this morning that Judge Young remarked: "Really I think that this case can be conducted with less noise." The case was that of Cunningham & Son, Ltd., vs. R. Conr nors the man who was supposed to be at Westminster while he was quietly pottering around doing chores serving his six months' sentence here in Prince Rupert. The matters in dispute are whether certain goods were returned by Connors, the price paid for logs he cut, and the return of the logging outfit. The argument between Mr. Manson and Mr. Patmore was over a legal technicality. Mr. Manson thought there was an in- admissable element of surprise in certain questions of Mr. Patmore's to the witness Harris. It ended in Mr. Patmore's raying that he would fling all the cards on the table for Mr. Manson to see for himself. "We've got nothing to hide," he said. The case is adjourned meantime. Obstructed Thoroughfare Wm. Brown appeared before the Magistrate yesterday afternoon charged with having obstructed the thoroughfare on Center street by leaving a load of lumber there. He was fined $10 and costs. ALFONSO READY TO FLEE British Fleet Held in Readiness to Succor Royal Family of Spain. ���Revolutionary Party Active Throughout Country. ���Strike In France Reflected In Spain. (Special to the Optimist) Madrid, Oct. 13.���The industrial strike in France is reflected in Spain and threatens to precipitate the fall of Alfonso. Preparations are now under way for the removal of the royal family to San Sebastian, near the French frontier. It is stated here that the British fleet is at Gibraltar, with steam up and all ready to protect the royal family. Alarming reports of revolutionist activity/are coming in from the various provinces. The Ferrar Anniversary Madrid, Oct. 13.���The Ferrar anniversary is passing without any news of concerted action throughout the kingdom though there is rioting and disorder in all the large cities, this, the capital, being no exception. At Barcelona the revolutionists seemed to be the most turbulent. There was a plot there to dynamite the great prison in which Ferrar was confined and executed. This came to the ears of the authorities and the prison was surrounded with military and machine guns. An attack by the revolutionists is momentarily expected. Though not officially proclaimed martial law is universal today throughout the country. There have already been several battles but owing to the strict censorship and the fact that many wires have been cut no definite information as to the situation can be obtained. It is understood that the army remains loyal to King Alfonso, but this remains to be seen. All leaves of absences have been suspended.

Fitzhugh, first vice-presidnet of the Grand Trunk and director of the Grand Trunk Pacific, was a passenger on the Prinw Rupert last night. He said his business keeps him very much in the east and he had seen but little of the west. He had pleasure in taking advantage of the opportunity of seeing Prinee Rupert in its early days, as it would be a pleasure to recall when it became a gerat city and seaport. He accepted an invitation from General Superintendent Mehan to take a ride on the railway this morning, and was accompanied by Captain and Mrs. Nicholson. Mr. Fitzhugh is among the famous railway men of the age. He was with Charles M. Hays on the Missouri Pacific and left him to join the Grand Trunk. He says this is a pleasure trip rather than one of business and that he has thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent weather and scenery on the way to this port. He agrees with Mr. Hays that when the railway is completed this will become one of the most popular tourist routes of the world. J. E. Dalrymple, assistant freight manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific, accompanies Mr. Fitzhugh. Annex Will Be Altered A letter from E. J. Chamberlin, vice- president of the G. T. P. Ry.

Tsimpsean Co.'s Gas Mains A letter from L. W. Patmore on behalf of the Tsimpsean Light and Power company asking about the proposed gas mains, and whether the city approved the plans submitted showing their positions was read at last night's city council meeting by the city clerk. The letter asked that if the positions suggested were not approved, the council might indicate what positions they desired for these mains. It was referred to the Streets, Works and Property committee.

LOCATION OF GOLD THIEVES CITY OF SEATTLE GOLD ROBBERY EXPLAINED Messboy Confesaes His Part in Robbery, but Police Believe Others Are Implicated���Mail Currency Ia Still Miseing. Seattle, Oct. 7.���That themen who rifled the registered mails on the steamer City of Seattle Sunday night got away with a large amount of plunder besides the gold bullion, is the belief of the post- office inspectors at work on the case as the result of further examination of the mutilated letters yesterday. Several letters noted inclosures of money, but no money was found. Thomas Buckley, who has confessed his part in the robbery, told Deputy United States Marshall George B. Daven- peck that he had a roll of bills wrapped in pieces of newspaper, and at least three inches thick on a rafter on th* 'tween decks, naming the place. When the search was made Monday night the money was not found, nor was another roll, wrapped in newspapers, which Buckley said he had concealed in his bedding. Buckley expressed much surprise that the two bundles were not recovered. The officers believe, since Buckley's confession before United States Commissioner, W. D. Totten, that the prisoner is telling the truth. Buckley was carefully searched immediately after the discovery of the robbery and again at the county jail but a diamond ring, a necklace and several other pieces of valuable jewelry, which are still missing, were not found on him. The postoffice inspectors were engaged yesterday in sorting out the American mail and making a list of letters in which money inclosures were mentioned. All amounts under $50 will be made good by the department on satisfactory showing by the senders at the point where the letters were mailed. One of the letters found in the mail yesterday noted the inciosure of two water receipts and $28 in cash. The receipts dropped out of the mutilated missive but there was no money. Another was an inciosure from Dawson to the States to pay for the board of a young girl in boarding school. The writer said $7 in cash was inclosed. The inspectors failed to find it. It was established yesterday that the roll of bills found in Buckley's sock at the time he was searched had not been disturbed, but was in the form in which it was stolen. It consisted of mutilated bills en route to New York for redemption, but was in such state of preservation that every dollar represented its face value. It was placed in the mails and forwarded to destination. SUE CITY OF MONTREAL Contractors Bring Action Claiming $50,000 for Contract Lou Montreal, Oct. 9.���Rodolphe Brunet and Denis Belanger have taken action against the city for $50,000 as the result of the loss of a contract during the royal commission proceedings.

Thursday, Oct. 13 OUR ONE GREAT CHARITY There are few calls for alms-giving in Prince Rupert. The lack of poverty is one of the features which make these last west cities unique in co nparison with the older cities of the world. So few are the demands for cash donations to charity that we are apt to forget that all the world is not flush with money, and that we have a duty as our brother's keeper. While the old world is in a turmoil of civil wars and revolutions, struggles between capital and labor, cries from starving hordes, wails of crop failures and the horror of atrocious crimes, this new world is basking in the sunshine of peace and plenty. Here where theie is work for those who want it, high wages and a free flow of money, the troubles of the rest of the world seem far away and unreal. We have no poverty and its attendant crimes to give us daily illustrations of the duty we owe to our fellowmen. Yet our city is not altogether without opportunity of extending charity in a practical and monetary manner. We have a city hospital which is about to be opened and thrown upon the city as an institution requiring the voluntary support of the citizens. Healing the wounded, curing disease, and administering to the sick is the first principle of all religious creeds and of all philosophy of life. It should be, and is, the greatest object of charity, and practically it is the only charity demanding alms which offers itself to Prince Rupert. There should be no difficulty in its making a successful appeal. Already very liberal subscriptions have been made to the building fund but more will be demanded and every year will see yet another call. The ladies of the city are now taking up the work of equipping the building and by their ingenious methods, subtle devices and sincerity in their noble purpose they are assured of success. This same work of supporting a local hospital has been delegated to the ladies all over America and it has become the recognized function of the fair sex. That Prince Rupert ladies will make good is without doubt but when the appeal comes to you in the form of a smile and a ticket or a subscription list, do not pass it up. Condensed Advertisements.

TENDERS FOR THIRD AVENUE WILL BE CALLED FOR AT ONCE Question of Stopping Grading of Seceond Avenue Beyond Junction Again Discussed. Aid. Hilditch the "High Priest" and Aid. Lynch the "Apostle." Aid. Lynch moved at last night's city council that tenders be called for the work on Third avenue as planned by the city engineer. Aid. Mclntyre seconded. Aid. Hilditch asked why nothing had been done regarding the transfer of the contract in progress on the section of Second avenue beyond the junction. Though they had the money promised from the Bank of Montreal it would be some time before they could get the actual funds. It would be sometime before they could collect the assessment against the loan. He had been studying up the city assessment and found that taking one thing with another there was very little equity in the city's method of assessment on the small property owner. He had calculated that an owner of a single lot in Biggar place would have an assessment equal to six per cent on his investment. The city had a legal but not a moral right to put on this assessment unless the people had a say in the matter. It was an injustice to the people of the outlying districts. Better to tax property in the business section of the city than in the districts where only dwelling houses would be erected for a considerable time. He believed that *if the property owners of these districts were present now they would object to the tax on them, and again suggested that the only fair way to do this grading was to grade the central sections of First, Second and Third avenues with their cross streets and let the business property owners bear the biggest share of the tax for this. It was not fair to ask from esidental property taxes on the same scale as for business property. Aid. Hilditch continuing said that he would oppose Aid. Lynch's motion not because he did not want Third avevnue graded, but because he wanted to see First avenue graded from the junction to McBride street. A plank roadway would serve the people beyond the junction for years to come he thought. A large number of the owners there were absentees and those residents there did not want to pay heavy taxes.

PHONE MINING INVESTMENTS 43 REAL ESTATE PATTULLO BLOCK Hilditch would like to see the work stopped in the part of Second avenue below the junction and the money devoted to work on First avenue. Aid. Lynch argued that the work now being done on Second avenue beyond the junction could never be done cheaper than at present, and said that the residents and owners there were aware of this and anxious to have the grading done. He mentioned that he had bought a lot there for $500 and sold it for $2000 as proof that the property was by no means as unimportant compared with the congested | section as might seem. Lots were leaping to speculative values in that district, and could bear assessment for grading all right. If the grading were postponed for even another year I it would cost $100,000 more to do. Aid. j Lynch said that personally he had no fears regarding the supply of money : for the grading of all of Section One. He was confident that the city's bonds I would be all sold long before the time came for the last payment to be made on grading work there, and the Bank of Montreal would be paid off. He strongly advocated the policy of going i right ahead with the grading in progress ; and getting busy with the new contracts ��� proposed at once. Aid: Pattullo rose to support Aid. Lynch's motion. He said that he felt that the city ought on no account to go back on any work but should ever press forward. Besides it was ridiculous for the council to chop and change about after Settling matters by full deliberation and decision. Aid. Hilditch said that no matter whether Aid. Lynch had paid $500 for a lot there and sold it for $2000, still there were lots in that district assessed at only $300. The situation was unfair for some of the citizens. He admitted the legal but not the moral right regarding this assessment. Some of the lots here were taxed to the extent of only $3 and yet here was the city's credit being pledged to the extent of ���$250 a lot for this grading. It was straining' the city's "borrowing power heavily, and mortgaging outlying property's borrowing power for its own improvement. It was not giving the outside man a chance to have his own property improved later on. Aid. Pattullo pointed out that the legal and moral issue in this matter was identical for both the general fund system and local improvement plan. It was impossible to build all of the city at once, and the wisest course was to go ahead with the business section first as it's completion would benefit all Boot ions. "I have a good deal_of outside property myself," said Aid. Pattullo, "for which I would not give a button unless there were a good business section." Aid. Hilditch again rose apologetically but saying that he had to reply to Aid. Pattullo as when aldermen threw talk like his it had got to be answered. The question was to give the people the privilege of saying which portions of the city should get improved. The moral obligations of the city to the citizens would be discharged if the matter were fairly put to the people. As matters were going at present they had no say in the matter at all. ' Aid. Mclntyre said there was a good deal of truth in Aid. Hilditch's remarks, and indeed some of his arguments were unanswerable. At the same time they had started on this work, and it certainly could be done cheaper now than later on. He believed the assessments would increase rapidly as the improvements went on, and the city's borrowing power would accordingly increase. He was therefore ready to support the motion. Aid. Lynch said he had very strong reason to believe that many people might have wanted grading work stopped at Eighth street. He knew of one citizen at any rate whose opinion to that effect he had read in a local paper. However, the choice remained simply whether they should have Watson's contract stopped in order that work might br taken up on another section instead by him at his own terms or keep on with this contract to a finish FINANCIAL STATEMENT GETTINGS AND SPENDINGS OF CITY DEPARTMENTS City Clerk and Treaeurer State Them at Aid.

Barrow could not see any sense in switching Watson off Second avenue either to Third avenue to please Aid. Mclntyre or to First to please Aid. Hilditch. He was not altogether in agreement with Aid. Hilditch's financial calculations, but he had a great respect for both his colleagues of the Streets committee. The trouble, however, to him seemed to consist mainly in the fact that Aid. Lynch was the apostle of the Frontage Tax system, while Aid. Hilditch was the high priest of the General Fund plan, and like the head of Charles the First in Dickens' story these subjects would keep coming into all possible discussions. Aid. Pattullo then asked that the question be put regarding the motion. Aid. Hilditch asked if the idea then was that Watson should go on with his end of Second avenue. Aid. Pattullo suggested leaving that matter open for Aid. Hilditch's benefit at ensuing council meetings. *Ald. Hilditch replied that he was ready to go on thrashing it out until the council was tired of it if need be. The motion was then put and carried. Aid. Hilditch merely refrained from voting.

AND SEVENTH STREET Princ* Rupert, B.C. 79tf Seattle, Oct. 7.���Unless Seattle business men take an active interest in the development of Alaska this city will never become a great port and the progress of the Northern district will be slow is the statement of John Rosene, who has long been identified with large enterprises in tbe North. "It is a fast that Seattle business men do not even go to the trouble to ascertain what is going on in Alaska," aaid Mr. Rosene yesterday. "Although Alaska is directly responsible for tbe rapid growth of the city since the discovery of the Klondike, there appears to be little interest displayed in the development of the North. It will be learned some day that Seattle's importance as a commercial center will depend upon the growth of Alaska. "The fuel for the Pacific coast during the next fifteen years will come largely from Alaska. The coal from the rich northern fields must be carried 1,500 miles in ships and the home port of this fleet will become the commercial and shipping center of the Pacific coast. "Seattle is the home port of a small fleet nf steamships which are controlled from New York. So far as I am informed, not one Seattle man is on tbe board of directors and little Seattle capital, if any, is interested in the transportation lines. If the people of Seattle owned the transportation lines to and within Alaska, they would in time own as much of the recources of the district as they want, as one follows the other. "I believe that one of the most important lines of endeavor that the Chamber of Commerce could undertake would be to arouse general interest in Alaska. The condition of things at present shows that there are fewer inhabitants of the district today than for many years. I have recently experimented in a campaign of publicity to test the interest in Alaska. I found that the public was keen to know all about the great district, but that it had little accurate knowledge. "Today Alaska is the land of promise, the place where there is room for everybody and a place of wonderful opportunities. Instead of having the tide of travel set outward from Alaska it should be going north. Business men of Seattle realize that trade with Alaska is getting duller every year, but they have not troubled themselves to ascertain the cause. With 500,000 people in Alaska, Seattle would become important as a manufacturing center; it cannot become important in that respect without the development of Alaska." During the years that Mr. Rosene has lived in Seattle he has secured more money for Alaska enterprises than the combined capital of all the banks in this city. He has been energetic in trying to center Alaska's business in Seattle, and his interest has been of broader scope than mere personal ambition. Mr. Rosene will leave shortly for Europe in the interest of a big Alaska project. One of the enterprises that he is interested in is the building of a railroad from Controller bay to the Behring coal fields. The preliminary surveys have been made for a line from fifteen to twenty miles long, with its southern terminal in a protected harbor on Controller bay. r Kipling's Latest i *m ii* sjg "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting, too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies; Or, being hated, don't give way to hating; And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; "If you can dream���and not make dreams your master; If you can think���and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn- out tools; "If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and- toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the will which says to them 'Hold on!' "If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings���nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but not too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, And���which is more^���you'll be a man, my son!" ���American Magazine ON IMPERIAL RELATIONS Suggests Department in London With Colonial Connections London, Oct. 9.���Evelyn Cecil, M. P., who was the last Englishman to confer with Presidents Kruger and Steyn ' before the outbreak of the Boer war, spoke at Aston before his constituents. He said that he was very anxious to see the idea of the Imperial conference develop along these lines: First, let the equality of the Mother Country and overseas Dominions be recognized with close Imperial connections. Secondly; let the nucleus of a federal govern- ent by the Mother Country and the self-governing Dominions over truly Imperial affairs be formed by creating an efficient department in London with colonial connections as the connecting link between periodical Imperial conferences.

Washinfton, Oct. 7.���Geotge Ade, humorist and playwright, makes the boast that the town of Ade, Ind., which is named after him, is growing faster than any community in the world. "When the town Was established by the Indian Harbor railroad about eight miles north of Kentland, where I was bom," said Ade, "the country sent a station agent there. That made the population one. The next year the agent married. That was an increase of 100 per cent in a year. The season foUowing a baby was born to the agent, and the company sent a baggage man That made the population four, and it had again doubled within twelve months. "The following year the Presbyterian preacher and his wife and an elevator man and his wife moved into town. That made the population eight. Now, I calculate that if the town of Ade keeps on doubling its population every year, as it has been doing, it will have 12,391,920 people, or about twice as many as New York, in 1930." AGAINST THE CHANGE Vancouver News Advertiser Prefers Name of Hudson Bay The frivolous desire of some people to change the names of places has inspired an agitation to have Hudson Bay called the Canadian Sea. There is nothing the matter with the name of Hudson Bay. Those who think that a sea is larger and more important than a bay might at least be content with a change of that word. But there is no need to change anything. The distinction between a bay abd a sea is delightfully vague. Seas are sometimes mere inland lakes, like the Sea of Galilee or Aral Sea. Sometimes they are arms of the ocean, as the Caribbean Sea or the North Sea. Bays are sometimes projections of the ocean, as the Bay of Biscay. They may be nearly enclosed, as Hudson Bay, or more open, as the Bav-o^JJengaL- They may be large, like the last named water, or smaller, like the Bay of Gibralter. There is no distinction of size or shape which makes it more proper to call Hudson Bay a sea. Still less is there reason to give up the name of the navigator who first cruised its shores, and whose bones lie beneath its waters. When a name has been long associated with a geographical position it should remain, unless strong reasons are found for a change. But in this case all the strong reasons are against any change. It will be time enough to call Hudson Bay the Canadian Sea when the United States changes the Mississippi to the American River. One would be as much a fool trick as the other. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY Plans for Reorganization of Its Many Trading Stores. Winnipeg, Oct. 9.���Persistent rumors are current here that Mr. Chipman, of the Hudson's Bay company, who arrived here from England yesterday, has had his powers curtailed and that only the lands and furs department are to be in his' charge in future.

Prince Rupert SeSSSeSSSSSSBS.^^ LIGHT WANTED FOR PREMISES ALD. HILDITCH WANTS ANOTHER MACHINE Light Committee Has Been Already Thinking of Having One Ordered. Aid. Mobley on Aid. Hilditch's) Good Judgment. Aid. Hilditch said at last night's city council meeting that he thought a second electric light machine should be installed right away in the new lighting station so that ilght could be supplied to business premises and dwellings. The city light plant should be self supporting like the phone system. Aid. Lynch solicited the advice of his fellow aldermen in the various matters of the lighting business at present. The committee was one of only two members at the moment, he said, and would be glad of assistance. Aid. Mobley complimented Aid. Hilditch on his good judgment. It was either that, he said, or Aid. Hilditch must have peeped into the committee's plans for his idea was exactly that of the committee for the immediate future. He mentioned that he also would be glad of his fellow councillors' opinions. Aid. Hilditch was delighted that Aid. Mobley was so conciliatory.. He said he had only used his own unaided judgment in this idea of his regarding the light proposal. He referred to the quantities of wire "scattered all over the city" which he thought might be used to advantage in connecting the main wiring system with the consumers' houses. Aid. Mobley said he hadn't got entangled in any of that wire yet, but J no doubt there was a good deal of! copper wire hanging around the city and as copper it was valuable in any case whether it could be used as Aid. Hilditch I Suggested or not. Aid. Lynch said that they might not be allowed to use a good deal of thiB old wire as it was not well insulated. The matter he thought could be safely left to the electricians. Aid. Barrow aaid that if the light plant were to be self supporting the rate for supply would need to be pretty high at first. The Mayor said much depended on the price of coal used in making the light. Aid. Mobley agreed that it would be advisable to fix the rate reasonably high. The main thing was to have light. Regarding the wire referred to by Aid. Hilditch, it could be gathered up as the workmen proceeded with the installation of the new plant.
