Free and General Discussion of the Matter by Citizens. SPECIAL COMMITTEE WILL INVESTIGATE A Feeble Opposition, Which, Being Be-ing Defeated, Bolts Great Enthusiasm. Springville will push forward ia the matter of electric lights, a full and complete investigation will be made, and electric lights will be had at the earliest practicable luomeut. The mass meetiug of citizens Monday Mon-day evening decided, by a unanimous vote, to the above effect. The little opposition made to the project was fruitless, and realizing this, the no-tlectric-light-eletnent '"bolted" the meeting, leaving their opponents a free hand. While this was not exactly ex-actly the anticipated result, it is one which is highly satisfactory to all, and one of which all may be proud. The opposition proved weaker than had been estimated. ORGANIZATION. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Deal,' who briefly stated the object of the assembly, and suggested organization be proceeded with. On motion, Mayor Deal was chosen chairman, and Wm. M. Iloylance secretary. sec-retary. MR. SCOTT TALKS. The meeting being now ready for business, Mr. J. S. Scott, chairman of the Council committee on Public Im- provemeuus, wa cuueu ujjuu m information in-formation injregard tQ the object uf "the meeting electric lights. In reply re-ply he sketched the work of the Council Coun-cil and his investigations. The Council Coun-cil had had the matter under consideration consider-ation for over a year, and the committee com-mittee on Public Improvements had been busy collecting information. He then had read by Secretary Roylance the estimates prepared, which have already been made public. The Council Coun-cil bad carried the matter as far as it could without the (sanction of the people, and so had concluded to submit sub-mit the matter to them and were ready to do their bidding. Ilence this meeting. MR. CAFFREY LEADS OPPOSITION. Information on various points was then called for by Messrs. Caffrey, Dougall, Boyer, Dallin and others. Mr. Caffrey's questions sought out the weak points of the proposition, and he became at once identified as the leader of the opposition. Aftei some discussion on points of order, Mr. Caffrey, in a short speech which was greeted with considerable applause, ap-plause, offered a resolution to the effect that Springville do not put in an electric light plant. Mr. Caffrey considered electric lights a luxury for which the city was not warranted in going Into debt. He did not doubt the accuracy of the estimates submitted, sub-mitted, but thought the committee might have overlooked many important import-ant matters. Mr. F. M. Snell also thought the estimates incomplete in many particulars. WOULD BE IN MOSES' FIX. Mr. Holly also had objections to electric lights. They sometimes went out, leaving things in darkness for a time. MR. BOYER IS CONSERVATIVE. Messrs. Roylance, Dougal, Hall, Reynolds, Scott and Dallin urged the rejection of the motion, and various substitutes were offered. Mr. John S. Boyer urged that the matter be further investigated and that nothing be done hastilv. He wished more information, in-formation, and thought time should be taken for consideration. A citizen suggested that a committee of five be appointed to aid the City Council In further Investigation. MR. DOUGALL AMENDS. Mr. Dougall effcred an amendment to Mr. Caffrey's motion, to the effect that the City do have electric light as 8000 as practicable. MEETING SITS ON Mil. CAFFREY.

The question was carried, and the following committee named: S. M. Iiivis, F. M. Snell, John S. Boyer, Jas. Caffrey and II. M. Dougall. The meeting then adjourned. COMMITTEE IS ALL RIGHT. .The gentlemen named as the citizen's citi-zen's committee are all well known men of affairs, and are c't'wns Q.f worth and standing in the community. com-munity. Electric lights will receive fair and impartial treatment at their hands. Mr. Caffrey will pick out the weak places in the proposition for Mr. Dougall to strengthen. Mr. Snell is posted on electrical matters and can take care of "expert" opinions. Mr. Boyer is pr.iperly conservative and Mr. Davis is a business man with a business man's judgment. Assuredly, th proposition will not sufTerat their hands unless it deserves to.

The superintendent coughed in some doubt as to what answer to give, but a little girl of nine, th ; eldest of several brothers and sisters, came promptly to Ids aid. "Please, sir," she said, smartly, "there was nobody to miss him'." : (Jet your receipt for 1898 ; : then you will receive the I N. Y.'
