ent, Mayor Ganty, couucllmeu Gut

The regular routine o£ business J
was suspended in order for V. I.
Hahn, superintendent of the W. P.
& Y. Route, to explain to the coun
cil the reason for '-he company's I

led to i-hc shutting off of the elec
tric lights by the Hjme l'ower Co.

Power Co., was also present, and
presented that company's side of
the .question.
After listening to what the a-1
bove two gentlemen had to say [
Mayor Ganty, on behalf of the coun
cil, said that the members of that I
body were not interested in the dis- |
pute between the W. P. & Y. R.
and the Home Power Co. but con
sidered .it their duty to see that
the wharf is lighted sufficiently at
night to prevent dangei of accident
to life or limb aud that if neces
sary the town would furnish lights
upon the arrivnl of boats, as it is
now getting the time of year when
travel will commence and it seem
ed as though something should be
done to make things in the town
as presentable as possible.
Mr. Nye said that he would en
endeavor to arrange so that the |
wharf will be properly lighted from j
now on when boau are in port.
