Protests against the curbing of Kiowa street between Eight and Ninth streets were referred to the appropriate committee. The bonds of the new city officers who had qualified were approved. The monthly appropriation ordinance providing for the payment of the employes of the city was passed. The matter of the granting of a franchise to the Leavenworth Light Heating Co.

came up. The contract, which is drawn up independently of the franchise, is an agreement to supply the city with are and gas street lights for ten years. Arc lights, of the same general pattern as those now in use which are said to use a maximum of 540 watts per lamp per hour, will be furnished to the city at $70 each per annum, provided that the city agrees to use not less than seventy-five are lights. Arc lights must be placed within three blocks of the present service. The company offers to furnish, equip and maintain gas street lights similar to those now in use, which will develop from fifty-four to sixty-five candle power per lamp at the following rates: For the first 150 lamps, $20 per lamp per annum.

For over lamps and less than 250, $19 per lamp per annum for all. For over 250 lamps, $18 per lamp per an1111111 for all. 'The company agrees to make a pro rata allowance for all lights that are out in order through its negligence. 'The rate of 15 cents per 1.000 cubic feet for natural gas and 5 cents per kilowatt for electric current will be charged the city for all consumption of either gas or electricity in any of the city buildings, with the exception of the city hall. which will be furnished with fuel, light and power free.

The city has the right at any time to have the lamps tested as to the amount of candle power they are developing and if any of the lamps do not develop the required power the company will be forced to replace the lights with ones adequate. The company agrees to use reasonable efforts to extend the life of the natural gas clause in the franchise SO that the people of Leavenworth will be suplied with natural gas as long as other cities in this part of the state. It further agrees that during the life of the franchise the company will deliver gas in sufficient volume to meet the demands in all parts of the city. THE POTTER'S HERALD. The Fifth Anniversary Edition of the Potter's Herald has appeared and is a highly creditable publication.

It is thoroughly representative of the craft, the head employers of which trade are represented in the extensive advertising matter. Typographically the edition leaves little to be desired, and on the whole it is a distinct credit to the publishers. The Herald is one of the best labor papers that comes to us, and we are satisfied none do more effective work in their respective field, says the Baltimore Labor Leader. This good work is to be seen among the trade in this city as well as pertaining to the labor movement 111 general. Such papers as this are a great gain to the cause of unionism.
