QUAKING ABOUT LIGHTS
lexington Citizens Fear They Will
Be Left in Darkness.
The Potomac Light Company Has
Shut Off Some Lamps a MI Threat
ems to Stop All.

The residents Of lexington are living in
constant dread that they shall some night he
left in total darkness. That is, as far as
the streets are concerned.
Their fears have partially been realized.
The lights on X, s, Second and Third streets
were out last night, and it was impossible 10
see distance OF ten feet on these thorOu gli-
fares. The Potomac Light and Power Com
pany have notified the citizens committee
that their contract with Mr.. Truesdeli for
lighting lexington will expire on February
z, and after that date, unless an apprDpria-
ton Is made for lighting this suburb, they
will cut off the light. This is causing the
citizens in that vicinity great uneasness
The officials OF the company have sug-
Scsted that the people VITO live in that
Deightborhood raise u fund among them
selves to pay for the lighting in case Con-
gress fails to make the necessary appro-
priatioD, namely, $3.50, for the balance OF
the fiscal year; but this is an expense they
do not care to assume.
They claim that they pay over $4,000
a year in taxes and all they receive in re-
turn for This is one policeman and a fire
alarm box.
I'VE think that in consideration OF the
amount OF taxes We pay" remarked a
resident of lexington this morning TO a
Times reporter, I'VE should have our
suburb lighted the same as any other
streets in the city. We are assessed at the
same rate as city property.
We are not taking sides. one way an-
other, in this controversy, that is going on
before Congress. and in the courts between
the United States Electric Light Company
and the Potomac Light and Power Company.
1t is a matter of no moment to us who does
the lighting or whether the suburb is lighted
by electricity or gas. We are quite near the
freight yards OF the II. & o. railroad, and
subject to visitations from tramiSs and
other tough chara cters who inrest such
places. If the lights are put out this viii
