MORE LIGHT. .V Ctirrepmleiit Agnln Gives III, Views mi the S"liet. En. IIkralp : By your kind permission I am again persuaded to draw the attention of your readers to the subject of electric ngnt- inc. I want to state, in the first place, that I hare no Interest In the old companies nor the 1 one for which a charter was recently srantcd. , navmg no ysjnonai ireiings in me """; l am therefore In a posltlou to consider the question In lis broader sense, aud from the standpoint of the greatest good to tne greatest number." Individual interest, personal pique or disappointments should never enter a discussion of public moment, for the public has rights that must lie re upected, the ambitious of certain Individuals to tbe contrary notwithstanding. After perusing the proceedings of the Borough Council at which representatives of both the old and the new companies ap peared and presented their side of the case, one Is led to believe there Is considerable bunooinbe In the make-up of the projectors Of the new company. The legal representa tive of the latter, at the first meeting, was docile, kind and considerate; stipulations the llorough Council demanded would will ingly be acceded to; the new company (or Its representatives) would sign any kind of bund for any amount, guaranteeing to fur nish a better and cheaper light than that now fumUhed the borough, and that there would be no consolidation. All they asked was that tlio contract be loft open (for how long he did not say), but if Council did not see It way clear to do that, then to grant them the right of wy to erect poles aud wire tho town. How different was the position of thia representative at the subsequent meeting. A liond was presented, and they refuted to sign it. They acknowledged that they could not furnish n better light, and to clap the climax tho Couneilmen, representatives of tho people, were roundly abused for what? llecHtise, perhaps, they all did not look upon the (cbeuie with the same fuvor as thoeo who are on the ground floor, and who are seeking to use the Couneilmen as a club to get even with the old company. At a subsequent meeting, the daily press tells us, these re formers bring to their aid two silk mill men 1 t'roinl'reelaud to plead their wauing cause, I under the guise that they intend erecting a I plant hero, provided, mark you, the now I elertriu light company is given the contract to light tbe streets nnd tho right of way ! I can easily imagino the thoughts that passed through tho minds of our llorough Fathers, after listening to a proposition of that kind. With two other electric light companies already established hero, the loon t ion of a silk mill is contingent upon tho stablishment of still another I Truly, the promoters of tho new company and the foreign silk "weavers" must imagine tho avcrauo Councilman is endowed with very littlo common sense. It Is two to ouo that tlio people of Shenandoah will never hear any mora of this silk project. If they wero sincere, they would not make such a laugh ,blo Bpectaclo of themselves, kuowiug full well that they can sccuro all the power they ilosiro without waiting for the establishment of another electric light plant. It is a wonder to me, Mr. Editor, why the new meat market and the hundred and ono side issues contln ''cut upon this "brilliant and illuminant chemo" did not also appear before Council and lend theiragsistnuco. Now tako tho other side, that of tho old company, which is a reality and Is at present lighting our streets in a better manner than any other hurough of the state, excepting nouo. Their representatives attend tlio Council meeting without auy blow or buster, make no promises they cannot faithfully aud honestly carry out, present their propositioa in black and white, aud then retire. When ouo looks at tho position of these late-dato leformers, it is enough to make Iloss Tweed turn in his gravo with envy. Thoy want tho contract deferred until they aro in a posltlou to bid for tho street lighting aud they themselves canuot say when that will he proltably six months or a year hence. In tlio meantime, the borough will bo losing money merely to satisfy one or two resident of tlio town. J he Councilman who favors a proposition of that kind will violate the trust imposed in him by his constituents. I do not think many ot them will daro face their constituents again if they submit to these thoughtless sentimentalists. It can be truthfully said of our Council- men that they have faithfully guarded tho interests of tho people in tho past, and there is no reason to laillevu that they will bo found wanting in thu instance. There is a wide dillerenco between competition and im position. t here is another phase ot the question that is proliably overlooked by tho majority of the people. Among those who nre stock holders in the present companies, are num bered many of our leading and progressive eltinens; who have mado Shenaudoah what it is to day, and are here to remain; who can not pack their grips and lemovo to New York as the whim strikes them. Thoy may not have built "palaces and halls of com mercc." but they invested their hard-earned cash in those investments as much In the interest of tho town's prosperity as that of their own personal gain. Is it right and just that these industries should lie crippled to satisfy thu whim of a few disgruntled men ? There is still another class of investors that should not be overlooked. I refer to the many orphans and widows who have in vested their money in tbe present company with the idea that it was a safe investment and that they would receive just piotection. Wnile others may be able to erect electric light plants at will, to "get eveu with some people," the widow and the orphan, in many cu-es, are dependent upon the small stipend thrived from their investment for a liveli hood. If this Is taken away, together with the principle. In this war of extermination, the burden will fall heavy upon them. There are times when the duties of the Council men require them, in the interest of the town's praajierity, to go against popular sentiment. Hut in this instance, so far as I am able to aaoartaiu, public sentiment Is against the "warriors bold" who have In augurated this war of extermination. I'bo IKuro I'ubmcd. Shenandoah, June IS, 1897.

In regard to tho giving out of the contract to the Electric Lighting Company without advertising for bids they allege that It was because the electric lighting system adopted was of acknowledged superiority, and the act did not require advertising for bids, and that tliey wore Instructed by a letter signed by Judge Pershing, setting fortli that In opinion of Judge llechtel and himself, tlio Commissioners hsd right to mako a chauge In the system of lighting without appllca tlon to Court.
