WHY should not the Wilmington City
Railway Company light tho streets their
cars pass over. The line between our city
and Now Castle which has been finished
and will soon be in running order, light
the streets of New Castle for the franchise
they enjoy or are about to enjoy. The
street cars Of Baltimore pay u certain per
cont, OF their gross receipts into the treas,
ury OF the Monumental city, for the bcne.
fit Of the parks. The street cars of Phla-
delphia pay $50 for every car run over their
different lines. Surely our local company
could afford to light the streets on which
they pass.
