In looking over the location OF electric
street lights and the record in the case Coun-
Gilman Vansant. chairman OF the council
committee on lighting, discovered that the
city is paying for the light at Thirty-seventh
and l. streets, and he will recommend that
this light be moved to Twenty-fifth and NJ
streets The records show that when this
light was placed at the b. & NJ. crossing at
Thirty-seventh and l. streets 1t was with
the understanding that the cost should be
collected from the railway company. There
is no record OF any payments having been
made by the company, and for this reason
Vansant will recommend its removal. He
says that he sees no reason why the city
should pay for light at a railway crossing
when it is the duty of the company to place
one there. The residents in the vicinity
of Twonty-fifth and NJ streets petitioned two
years ago for light, and the request has
never been granted. Now he proposes to do
what he can to have this light at the rail-
road crossing way out on the edge of town
moved in where it will do some good
