There are three issues that loom up largely on the municipal horizon and that must be dealt with by the _coun- cil of this year. These are (1) street lighting, (2) garbage, and (3) . street railway contract. The first two are purely public and must be worked out with a consideration for public inter- este merely. The city is not as well it should be. considering lighted as ity runs its own plant, and that the ¢ that the conditions ought 'to make for lowered cost of power production. The fact that the city is in the light- ing business is not the only point to be remembered. The gas and electric plants were acquired with the assur- ance that the consumers of gas and electricity would be served efficiently, | and at a reduced cost. The consumers must have first thought from the al- dermen as they aré contributing the larger amount of the- revenues of the department. The manner of disposing of . the gar- bag. has heen deferred from year to year bécause the question did not | seem-40-he pressing. for attention. As the city grows there is felt the -grealéc need of some definite plan for collect- ig tha garbage. and conveying it out: side of the city Fmits. Something must be done with it.

The situation has been very much changed singe then, and the present agreement cannot be continued because in some respects it is unworkable. : Under all these circumstances it is of the greatest importance who shall comipose the council of-1908 and es- pecially who shall direct its delibera- tions.
