It is regarded as very doubtful about
the providing of additional electric lights
on the east side, although the petition for |
calling a special meeting Of the voters Is
pending before the warden and burgesses |
and will be decided the first Monday even |
ing in November. Some of the taxpayers
say that if more lamps are erected special
tax will be necessary to raise the funds or
the borough must borrow the money. They
do not favor the plan of a special tax,
neither do they want to borrow the money.
In view of all the drawbacks they believe
it best to wait six months for the annual
meeting, when all the arrangements could
be made. The burgesses, however, say
the petitioners can have q special meeting
| of the voters If they insist.
