CAN'T PAY INGRAMS BILL,

Legal Opinion on Legal Expenses~
Tho Strect Light Question,

At the meeting of the city council
on Tuesday evening, Mr. Abbott,
the city solicitor, reported that the

council had no right to pay Chief of

Police Ingram’s bill for legal ser-
vices in defending himself at the in-
vestigation,
It was resolved to inform the
West Kooten Power & Light
company that the city was desirous
of improving the street light system
and they were invited to submit bids
to that end. Otherwise the council
would take some steps towards
lighting the city either by a sepa-
rate system or in some other man-
ner.
