that the idea of putting In a water

in the tax books for the past year it :
was learned that nearly a quarter of
a million of dollars of property was

to raise sufficient money for this pur

as many people already know, and
the money for the lights was large

owned a house In Benton Heights was
to pay thirty dollars for each house
he owned for the purpose of lighting
the streets ami running the lines for
the houses. Then each man was to
wire his own house at hi own expense
and nearly every man has paid this
thirty dollars. A good many houses
are lighted now and others are jroinp
to wire as soon as possible.
