D. Light for Rodman Avenue.
I'll The question in regard to a new e
main, on Rodman avenue, is causing &C
tn siderable uneasiness among the coun
no and certain members of the gas compa
70 who have thus far opposed the measul
Il, in fact it is difficult to find a man direc
j concerned who is willing to face the pub
- openly 10 the matter. The gas compa
At want to appear as friendly aud obligiI
. subservent to public interests, ETC.. ct
~ while the council, or at least certaia mel
or bers of that body, are anxious TO make
IN explanation to the people that will pla

route is not finally established; that t
= new main would necessitate filling up
H. some places and deepening the grade
OIL other points. The other side-the pc
in TONERS, claim that digging the trench
- two feet deeper at the head of the aven
" is all the extra work required that t
lower end has got to be filled up anywi
etc., etc. The last named assertions
undoubtedly correct. The mayor
made an inspection of t..he new route
will probably recommend the laying of
main. The necessity for more light on
blutf and Especially along Rodman ave.
Is daily felt among the large number
pedestrians who of necessity travel t
thoroughiare. A special meeting of
cut council will no doubt be called to take
are finite action in the matter. No street
the city is more in need of light than r
man avenue. nor can the council pas
ion measure more advantageous to the in
in ests of the public than for laying a
, to main along the new route. The petit
In. ers represent large portion of the
~ payers of the city, and their prayer.
tn o more equal benefit therefrom, is EMIT
the to be heard and should command due c
ent sideration from the city fathers, WI
