Proposition Made to Sell Both—The City Election Tomorrow—Police Proceedings—Brief Notes. - Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King S‘reet, Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 26, 1897. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council was held in the city hall last evening, with a large attendance. Little or no business outside of the appropriation bill and license cases for the next fiscal year was transacted. The only change in the license laws was an addition compell- ing green grocery peddlers to pay $15 an- nually and take out a license for an entire year, and the license fee for billiard tables was reduced. The net revenue of the city during the past fiscal year amounted td $102,733, while the appropriattons- during that- period amounted to $112,950. The appropriations for the coming fiscal year amount to $113,- 150, which is $10,000 more than the amount expected to be received under the present system. Out of this amount the sum of $10,900 is to be used for street improve- ments. As the appropriations now stard there will not be any chance for street im- provements during the coming fiscal year. In the lower board there was quite a heated discussion over the appropriation asked by the committee on lights for the coming year. It developed that the electric light plant and gas works combined are being run at a decided loss, the former falling behind at the rate of $1,000 a year ever since it was put in. When it was first proposed to light the city with electricity there was great joy, incandescent lights for residences and bus- iness houses being a great inducement, in addition to arc lights on the street corners. After the electric light plant was put in, ac- cording to contract, it was found that it would be imporsible to furnish current enough to supply proper lights for the streets. Many times have the citizens wanted incandescent lights for their houses and places of business, but the city has never been able to furnish them, and, it ina never will be with the present facil- jes. Several weeks ago a King street mer- chant made application to the city council for permission to place incandescent lights on the front of his building, the current to be supplied by the Washington, Alexan- dria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company. This request was referred to the committee on street light, and has never been heard from since. Citizens say it Is a sort of “dog in the manger” busi- ness. It is said to be absolutely impossible for the city to furnish the incandescents, but the authorities are not willing for any one else to do it. Many members of council favor selling both the electric light plant and the gas works, and claim the city could then get light at about $2,000 per annum, while it now costs nearly $8,000 per annum. Mr. McCuen introduced a resolution di- recting the committee on light to contract with any electric company which would agree to furnish to the city arc electric lights at $50 per lamp, not to exceed 100 lamps. Without debate the resolution was referred to the joint committees on light and finance.

Am Alexandria “Freak.” A letter was recelved from Mr. Willer- berger, formerly a resident of this city, but now residing in France, stating that while visiting Metz, Germany, a few days ago he went to see a circus, which was exhibiting there. On a large canvas in front of the side show he saw a picture in glowing col- ors of a freak “from darkest Africa.” He went inside and saw the negro king. On questioning the negro it was found thet he was a native of this city. Mr. Willerber- ger stated that secing the Alexandria ne- €ro revived memories of home, and they — quite a lengthy conversation after the show. Not Harry Wheat’s Dog.

Richard Burnett, who has been confined in the jail at Fairfax Court House, charged with arson in connection with the burning of Constant Pinnett’s stable, in West End, an account of which appeared in The Star, was released on a bail bond of $2,300 yes- terday by Judge James M. Love. His case will probably be called at the June term of court, when a special grand jury will be summoned, Electicn Tomorrow. Tomorrow will be election day. The can- didates to be voted for are as follows: For mayor, George L. Simpson; for auditor, E. F. (Sam) Price; for city treasurer, M. B. Harlow; for collector of taxes, P. F.
