A DARK SPOT.
More Lights Are Needed in the City of
Walkerville.

More Lights Are Needed in the City of
Walkerville.
The distressing accident Monday
night, by which Mrs. Prior broke her
leg, near the Lexington hoist, has serv-
ed to renew the agitation in Walker
vile with reference to the proper light
ing of the city, and especially that part
of it where the accident occurred. This
strip of road as has frequently been
said and written, is the darkest spot
on the map. 1t is a wonder that more
persons have not been injured on this
graded strip of roadway. The road at
this point is narrow and when a pedes-
trian is required to step to one side to
make way for a team he is taking
chance of going down a rugged en-
bankment, night or day.
The frozen condition of the ground
has been assigned as the reason for not
setting electric ligh. poles where most
needed. 1t was suggested yesterday
that an arc be placed temporarily at the
northeast corner of the Lexington hoist.
1t is argued that the company would
offer no objection to having a light plac-
ed on the building until such time as
pole holes can be dug. A light on the
corner suggested would illuminate the
roadway down as far as Masonic hall
and certainly prove to be of inestima-
Bile benefit to persons whose business
calls them over the hills of nights.
Whitewashing political offenders is
bad. Whitewashing or kalsomning
kitchen walls is the proper thing.
