session on Monday evening last anC
had very lively time. A committee
from Hill street, numbering abou
twelve, appealed to the council to re-
: consider the location in which they de-

, said that it was not necessary in tn,
middle Of the street, but would be o
great service at Evans corner to al
the people crossing the Delaware anC
l Hudson railroad track by night. Mr.
l Isaac Mendelson, who appeared on be
half of the negative, said the council
Y men acted very wisely by selecting thu
= present location for the light and saiC

the committee held against him be

=, close to his store. Half dozen objec
e tors, all speaking together, attempted
i to answer, but finally Quilted down anC
. Mendelson continued. Many of tn
committee said it was not prejudc
e that brought them there, but that the.
wished to urge upon the council tn
e necessity of protecting the people il
that dangerous place. The council thel
= advised the people to call a meeting 70
