The electric arc lights recently erected
are great. They give magnificent ap-
pearance to the streets, and can not fail
to be satisfactory. There is one light

unfortunately located, the trees shading
the walk on Grove Lake-ave. Either
the trees will have to be trimmed or the
light removed few feet eastward.
