The city council met last evening subject to the call of Mayor Wheeler

to take up the electric lighting situa- j tion in Crown Point, and progressed; far enough in the matter to agree to tentative plans with the company who 1 are to purchase the Crown Poi'nt Electric company's interests to close up a contract w ith them. The exact terms . of the contract are not known, hut it is understood they will emhraee a rate of $70 per month for all night arc service, a charge of 12 cents per kilo-' watt Instead of the present 15 rents, ' and a minimum charge of from 50 to 75 cents per month instead of the i present 1 rate. Kids will be advertised for and received on the 23rd of September for the city lighting, hut it Is understood that this is a mere formality, done only to comply with the law and make the contract to be entered into with the present pnrchasers valid. The Crown Point Electric company still has a franchise of eighteen years' duration with the city and it is planned now to swap franchises as it were and give the new company to be a twenty-five year franchise in exchange for the present, with the above-named concessions on their part, and the privilege to arbitrate the rntes every ten years, providing they are not considered equi'able or satisfactory.
