In these times when towns in Vermont nc
larger or weather. than Waterbury have
electric lights it is certainly very strange
that our people can not have the blessing Of
even a Kerosene light-up. The darkness
visible" that these illumnators afford i,
much preferable to the blackness of the
nights at this cloudy season. The lamp
posts taken up when the new walk wa.
laid on Main street have not been restored
The village has been at considerable ex
pense TO provide lamps. The cost of sus
tanning them is very small. There is NJ
reason why the village should not be lighted
and many of our people think, with reason
that it is disgrace TO the community that tn,
| lamps are not lighted. A state institution
has been located here. A large amount o
money will be expended here. Public at
tention is called to the village This bust
ness will call many people here, and Water
bury must shine up" in many other ways
than by lighting her streets at night. Sh,
should not be content with kerosene lamps
She ought to consider seriously the ques
ton of putting in plant for electric light
ing. The village must keep up with the pro
cession, Turn on the lights as the first step
