August Argument will be heard before Justice Clement at Brooklyn next Saturday in an order to show cause why a peremptory writ of mandamus should not be issued directing the board of trustees of Jamaica to reject the bid cf the Jamaica Electric Light company for lighting the streets of Jamaica End annul their action taken at a previous meeting awarding the contract to the electric light company on the ground that the resolution awarding the contract did nor receive the votes of a majority of the trustees present. The action was brought bv William M. Scott through Attorney Edward T.

Cromwell. There were six trustees present, including the president. Foley Higgins and Stanford voted in favor of awarding the contract and Bc ree ar.d eater, against it. The president not cast any vote and declared the resolution carried. The charter is very amblnuous in its statement concerning the duties of the chairman in.

regard to voting. It is thought by si. of the board that the easiest way out cf the difficulty would be for the court to direct the board of trustees to receive a new set of bids after duly advertising for the same an! to have the contract awarded by a majority cf the voters present at a meeting of a quorum of the board.
