LIGHT AGAIN.
The electric lights on Taunton avenue
and on Washington bridge did not light
up until long after seven O'Clock last
night for the steenth time this year.
This morning they faded away at about
FIVE o'clock, whereas they should send
forth their ftfull gleam until $40 ac-
cording to the contract OF the company.
IL seems that the lights are regulated by
''clock-work' and II Is high time that
the clock was taken to local watch re-
pairer. Something ought to be done with
the time-piece at any rate, the river
is handy.
