EcKINGToN's STREET LIGHTS.
Gas May Take the Place of EIectri
LAMPS

Lamps.
Commissioner Wight has recommended
that the system of lighting the streets IN
lexington be changed from incandescent
electric bulbs to incandescent gas lights.
This action was taken after duly consider
ing the merits of both lights. 1t is claimed
that the electric lights have been giving
very poor service for a long time past an /
any accident to the cables conveying the
current deprives the entire suburb OF its
lighting facilities. 1t is further argued
that there is no street designation on the
lamps.
At board meeting of the Commission
ers yesterday, when the matter was fully
discussed, Commissioner Ross suggested
that it would seem appropriate to have the
matter submitted to the President of the
lexington Citizens Association for report,
and as this recommendation was approvei
by the other members of the board the
matter will be laid before the association as
soon as possible.
