Shields, of Moscow, Makes Proposition for Bringing Elec tric Current to Pullman. The city council has been consider ing a proposition from M. J . Shields, of Moscow, for the running of a line to Pullman to serve this city with elec tricity for both lighting and power. Mr. Shields proposes to give both a day and night service, and to furnish current to the city at a certain per cent of the gross receipts. His present proposition is to supply the current and to accept inpayment two thirds of the gross receipts, the city to main tain its city system and to have direct control over the sale of lights. For power and street lighting a stated rate is to be made for the current used. In case an agreement can be made with Mr. Shields, electric power will be installed in the water works station, and with a new pump operated by electricity, no engineer will berequir ed. The committee from the council is making a careful study of all phases of the situation and it is probable that Pullman will have day service be fore long, if not from the Shield's proposition, then from some other source.
