THE GLOOM DISAPPEARING.
The town of Johnston is gradually re-
covering from It's recent attack OF total
darkness, but the recovery is due TO the
efforts OF private individuals, however.
ana not TO any concerted action by the
citizens as a whole or to anything the
authorities have done. Last night the
gloom Was relieved by SIX arc lights in
the Plainfleld street section and on many
OF the side streets were TO be found q
number of oil and gasoline lamps in
operation.
Ii Is reported that petition will be
presented to the Council, at its meeting
tomorrow afternoon, requesting that body
to call a special financial town meeting.
The light commissioner haste in re-
moving the gasoline lamps from the posts
may also form the subject of somo discus
ctn hy bn fat ha, a ftor
the shutting off Of the lights Commits
soner Fiske removed the gasoline lamps
lie received requests from many persons
to allow the lamps to remain, with the
promise that they would be maintained
by private subscription, but it is alleged
he paid no attention TO these requests
and as speedily as possible slowed the
lamps away where they were of no use TO
anyone lie may have felt that 10 was his
duty TO do so under the circumstances, but
he was not ordered to do so and accord
ing to the opinion of one mem ber of the
Council he had no authority TO do So His
conduct provoked much Indignation
among those who were willing to maintain
the lights at their own expense and, IL is
said, II no presents bill for tho labor in
volved in the removal Of the lamps, he
will find it rather difficult to get the
Council 10 pass it, An Official may over
reach himself.
