To the Hon. the Mayor. and Common
Council:
Your committee on gas and light, TO
whom was referred the petition of c.
Englehardt and others to have an cleo
trio light placed at the corner OF Ash
land avenue and Dayton street, beg
cave to report as follows: Upon inves-
tigation of the location for which said
light is asked, we find that at the in
tersection of Ashland avenue and Eliz-
abeth street, being one block south,
there is an electric light; at the inter
section of Ashland avenue and Pom
eroy street, being one block rorth,
there is an electric light; at the inter
section of Dayton street and Congress
street, being one block west, there is
an electric light; and at the intersection
of Dayton street and Chicago street,
being one block east, there is an cleo
trio light, and therefore do not think
an electric light at the corner of Ash
land avenue and Dayton street neces-
sary and would recommend that the
prayer of the petitioners be not granted.
