La Grande Also Makes New Arc Light Contract.
The city council last night authorized the mayor and recorder to enter into a contract with the Grand Ronde Electric company for 30 arc lights, at the rate of $5 per month, says the La Grande Observer. This will necessitate the new system which the company expects to inaugurate about September.
A committee was authorized to take the proper steps toward refunding $30,000 of outstanding bonds. The idea is to refund those now drawing 6 per cent with 5 per cent bonds.
The mayor and recorder were instructed to accept the O. R. & N. proposition to change their deed to the old city hall property so the same might be used as a city park. The present building will be sold to the highest bidder and the ground soon improved for park purposes.
