The ordinance, as presented by tbs' fire company,"Was readfur the second time but was lair) over, owing to some amendments. The resolution providing for the of­ fice of night policeman waS passed. Councilman Shull offered a resolu­ tion proyidiugfor a committee of thred to examine and investigate.the light question. The resolution calls for the Cleveland Vapor Lamp for afreet lighting purposes. I t only received one readiug, * Council recessed until this evening when the question wilt again be taken up. * ‘ ' 1 Most every one has an opinion as to what,lights the corporation should purchase and (what would be the cheapest, , t To argue that the present system is Satisfactory would be absurd, bnt can ws better it any without a gritat ex* petiditure oi money? The Herald „f*vojW no particular lampor.kiiJcW' light; ail tie care for is that fbfc pbblio Money is spent hi a judicious manner Rnd that we will In thru have Rome* thing to show for such expeaditute. If |hcre is any light we would advd* cafe the purchase of# it would be elec­ tric light, but by, the experience of ether fowna of timihit site, we mtist profit. It is an.established iaot that we cannot have city luxuries in a country village, tot a village we are, because people on the outskirts refuse to eorne into mir bounds and those already ftf, place their property on the tax list for at least 50 percent lower than they would #11 it for# is it way wonder that Cedarville lags-behted id amount of taxable property?

T t is evi­ dent that it was valued low or1else it it bad advanced, in value wonderfully in the past year, The ovyue-i of this property is one of the ones that favors tlto expenditure ofpublic funds for most any'thing, and is it nnywon* der. - * As’for the gasoline lamp we do not think-the council should make a pur­ chase until we have a thorough knowledge o ft ho different kinds and makes. Then let the representatives exhibit same, before the public so the merits of each Can easily be deter- mined, then counpit can call for bids. Obe plan would be,, after making the Selection, -to purchase only a few and give them a good trial. We have other things to take, into consideration besides lights first and above all the peopluWill no dbubf be called flpon in another year to pre­ pare for better school accommodations, which will mean that the fnflda must be raised by taxation* This school problem should be carefully consid­ ered, for ouivcbUdreii must have the best of accommodation's, which is of greater Importance than all the Hghta that could he faiiftg in the town. What education the child will re­ ceive a t onr schools and what few beams he may receive from ihe-pres­ ent lamps wo think be will be able to push his way through the streets.' There are many things that the cor­ poration need worse than lights—we need fire protection, and should the Introduced tUdinnUCe pass, Council mightjas well take steps towards pur chasing a team of horses and provide for keeping same, Should council decide -to invest in a flew system of of lights, we *Rk in. be­ half of the taxpayers' of this corpora­ tion that there be nd great abiount of money spent until the system has been thoroughly tried.

The fellow was making an effort to pry the door open when first seen. However he did not like the appear­ ance of the officer’s Jog and took down the railroad ah lightning speed. Offi­ cer Kennon gave chase and fired sev­ eral shots at the fleeing burglar, but he made .good^ls escape by leaving track at Mitchell’s mill and taking out across the fields. The fellow certain ly wasn’t onto his job or he would not have attempted to gain his entrance to the depot as there is nothing of great value left there at night.
