The attention of the members of coun-
Gil is directed to the fact the portion of
the borough lying north Of Chestnut
street is poorly lighted at night. Railroad
men want to know why the street lamps in
the locality mentioned may not be left
burning during the whole night instead Of
being extinguished at 10 o'clock. This
portion Of Columbia is inhabited princi-
pally by railroad men, whose duties call
them out at all hours of the night, and as
the facilities for walking, from Chestnut
street out, are none of the best, they think
that an extra amount of light should be
granted them. The questions arc respect
fully referred to the borou sh council.
