The city council was perfectly right
in not accepting the compromise offered
by the Frisco for putting in an arc
light at their Main street crossing.
That this crossing is dangerous no one
will deny and as most of the travel over
that crossing is in day time light
would be of but very little benefit.
The city can much better afford to put
in the light itself than dispense with
the fagman.

To her aged husband, whose stead
fast companion she had been through

mother in the full sense of the
word.
