ty more are shortly to be added, making eighty
three in all-but really a small allowance for the
growing needs. As we have remarked before, one
lamp is better than several policemen, in the cause
of public morality and private safety. We under
stand that Mr.. Berger is prepared to furnish private
parties who may desire them, lamp posts with lamp
and attendance, at an agreed monthly rate, inform
