The great question that is now interest ing the residents of Fair Haven East is tho question of the proposed electric lights

 the friends of the measure believe they can carry it through. The. present five mill tax pays the borough expenses and some surplus, and it is es- timated that another half mill would raise revenue sufficient to maintain dozen electric lights. It is not proposed to light the entire borough at first, but to start off with small number of lights as an experiment. Lights are needed at the | corners of East Grand avenue and Quinni- piac, East Grand avenue and Center streets 1 and at the eastern approach of the Quinni- piac drawbridge. The other lamps would
 be placed in Quinnipiac and possibly in Center and Prospect streets. When the
 matter comes up there will be big meet | ing, and the consideration of the scheme will be an event of considerable interest. Two new box cars arrived for the horse
 railroad yesterday. They are numbered 73 and "A and are first class cars with the | modern improvements.
