The Committee on Lamps and Gas of the Board of
Counclmen held meeting yesterday at the City Hall,
and decided to report in favor of having the names OF
streets painted all the public corner lamps, and the
numbers of the houses opposite all other lamps painted
On the same. Every one at all experienced in the
matter knows the difficulty Of finding numbers in the
town streets at night, and hackmen especially loud.
BY complain of the present annoyance There are
about $4,000 gas lamps and the estimated cost is 25
cents for each lamp.
"Fsir Play" inquiries why women alone are arrested
for dsorderly conduct" by the Police. We believe
ruch is not exactly the case. Should men be found
themselves in the streets, trust they
win be hauled up and required to give an account of
themselves. should " Fair Play witness any public
violation Of decency or good order by males le him
for her) make immediate complaint at the Police
Ofice.
