At a special election Wednesday ■the city of Ligonier gave a majority of 72 against municipal ownership of the electric lighting system, thus reversing the decision of the former election, which it had developed was illegal because sufficient notice had not been given. Public interest was keyed up to a high pitch over the muunicipal lighting propsition, and outside speakers were brought in to discuss the matter pro- and con.
