SHALL THE G1TY HAVE LraHT .
As the hour approaches for another
session of the State Legislature, and
many strangers are in town, studying
the geography Of the Suburb Grasse,
and looking after comfortable quar-
ters; the question of light becomes
a grave question. The lamp and
lamp post property of the town, is val
ued at about $4,000. and we believe
the only reasonable reason, urged for
not taking care of them, is, that there
are not enough posts to illuminate the
suburbs; and whilst Lafayette street
is shining bright on dark nights; in
Pete's alley on the Eastern Liberties,
there is Egyptian darkness. Ofsourse,
this is not just or propef. But it is
not sufficient reason why there should
be no light at all. 1t is true, that the
suburbs pay their quote of the tax for
light, and yet do not have the direct
benefits of it but let them consider
while on the subject. All citizens
alike feel a common interest in the
growing and spreading out propensity
of our lovely little city, and though we
cannot now afford to have general
illumination, nightly; yet the day is
not very far distant, we hope, when
ST Nopoleon street will be Illuminated
with the reflected light of "Royal
Beaugard Square" Come gentlemen
of the Board-rather we should say
"City Cosancil," consider this matter
calmly in the light Of reason, and
nightly illumination must 9llow, when,
eyer the moon refuses to shine. -
The best interest of thAcity require
light light is the worst enemy of in
iquity and evil doing It is terror
to house breakers, larger thieves and
smaller pickpockets; and such always
follow in the wake of, and are sympa-
tbized with, by every modern assem-
bly, of model Legislators. 1t is for
losses sustained in the dark, that so
many bills of "relief' find their way
safely through the lower house.
