The straying stock of Springwood
Is becoming a menace to the gar
dons in tho district, and drastic ac

out of recognition, and tho pluuts
demolished.

Tho Springwood lOloctrlc Lighting
Oo, (Provisional) was formed in ton
mlnutoH. When calling for capital
tho Hum of £0000 was subscribed In
anothor thirty minutes, and tho
pooplo of Springwood putted thom
solvos and ouch othor on the thoi'nx
and said: 'Lot there bo . light.'
Then they told othor Mounialneei'H
what a go-ahead .crowd thoy wore,
and othor Mountaineers murmured
'Yop,' and chowqd tho cud of ad
miration. That was some time ago
and Iho light still refuses to 'Lots,'
And why? Bocuuso what It took
tlio pooplo ot Springwood to do in
forty minutes, Iho Shire Council has
noarly strangled with procrastina
tion for two months, Tho Spring
bokH aro still waiting for the Shiro
Council to call for tenders. Origi
nally the Shlro ISuglneor was asked
to draft nnd submit specifications,
but ns ho Is not an eloutrlcal on
