To the Honorable M iyor and Common Council
OF the city Of Ow0SSo:
Gentlemen-Your committee to whom was
referred the petition for light on Corunna
avenue also on lakewood avenue, would report
unfavorable on the same for the following rea-
sons: We find that to increase the lighting
district would create a deficit, as the appropria-
tiOn is only SUFFICIENT to pay for the present
lights, and as we know there are many other
places which also desire lights we feel it would
be unwise at this time to make the desired
change. A. ~. Palmer,
