Sidney stands a good chance of being in darkness come next Wednesday, the date the present contract with Sidney Electric Co. runs out. Council considered the matter at a special session last night and declined to accept the proposed contract, calling for 10 years at a rate of $100 per light per year. This is an increase of $10 per year per light over the present contract. Council proposed an offer of a contract for three years at $90 per light per year. Mr. Hanely, secretary of the electric company, refused to accept the contract, saying the company could not afford to furnish the lighting at that rate.
