HUNTINGTON IN NEAR DARKNESS Mayor Bangs Orders City Streetlights Off; City Funds Low Huntington, Ind., Dec. 12.—(U.R) —A string of varicolored Christmas decorations, owned by the Chamber of Commerce and lighted with current from the Northern Indiana Power Company, comprised the street lighting system in Huntington last night. Mayor Clare William Hobart Bangs, archrival ot the private utility, turned off the city's street lighting system when he learned tunas for its maintenance were depleted. I The tiny municipal electric plant ' —Bang's chief weapon in his fight against the power company—supplied power for city buildings and the 650 stores and residences the Huntington executive has lured away from the N. 1. P. in an effort to run the private utility out of town. A few scattered traffic signals and passing automobiles furnisned the only street light in the residential district. The brightest spot in town was the area in front of the Northern Indiana Power Company offices, where three huge bulbs burned in each of the six piTt’ately-owned posts. The predicament caused various comments trom irate citizens, many of whom traced the difficulty to Bangs' long-standing tight witn me power company Harry Rush, Main street, cloth.ng merchant, began and concluded a vehement tirade against Bangs with an oath and concluded: “thisTs awful.” Dr. W. H. Spencer, dentist, commented : "I was for Bangs in his tight for a municipal utility but this sort of thing is going to lose him a lot of friends.” Bangs, hardened by consistent rebuffs in litigation against the power company, was non-committ-al. He was confident of his resourcefulness to find away out. Mayor Bangs was in court all afternoon while City Attorney Cl.'.ude Cline attacked reiTFWcd contempt proceedings of the Northern Indiana Power Company against the -■xecutive and others in arguments on a demurrer. Judge Huber M. DeVoss promised a decision next Monday afternoon which will decide whether or not Mayor Bangs and me other defendants will be required to stand trial for alleged violatoin of the Northern Indiana company’s permanent injunction against extensions of the city electric plant.
