The streets were thronged with people, intent on their usual ‘Saturday night purchases, and the loss to the merchants was consid- erable. Moving picture shows were put out of business, anq there wag a big demangd for keroscne lamps and candles, whose feehle glare present- ¢d a marked contrast to the usual brilliang illumination of the shops. It wag brought home very foreibly to the people just how great a conveni- mcee the electrie light service is, ana to what extent they depend upon the service. It wag first teared that the slant would have to he shut down for a week, pending the arrival of re- pairg anq other equipment, but Sup- erintendent Raffo with a force of mechanies workeq all night and all day yesterday, with the result that repairs were made to such an extent that lightg were furnisheq the city at last night, anq the day current is also on today.

It should provide for a sum sufficient to tak care of the requirements of a city of twenty-five to fifty thousand in habitants and such a bon issne should have the gupport of every cit- izen.
