LIGHTS GROW WORSE
Suddenly Went Out Again Sunday Night
ANNOYANCE and DANGEROUS.

The electric light service appears
to be getting worse instead of better.
On Sunday evening, just before 10
o'clock, the lights went out again in
the stores and streets and it was so
dark as to unnerve anyone travel
ling, for one knows what a shock 1t
gives one as the lights suddenly go
out. 1t was impossible to see whcrc
one was walking and a man S
heard to fall up a gutter and iitca
several times before ne gained a bal
ance.
A lady on the opposite side of
Broadway could hear, but could not
see him. The only way the lady
made sure of her bearings was by
using an umbrella as a walking stick
and tracing out the cutters with it.
A party coming down Bordentown
avenue said it was fearfully dark
there, there being no houses part of
the way. The lights always manage
to go out when most needed, just as
peopls are going to their homes for
the night. Here is another COM
plant about the Hole in the wall.
Saturday evening, about $40
o'clock, a lady and gentleman were
driving to their homes in Mechanics
Vile and as they reached the Hole
in the WALL they heard children
screaming and older ones crying.
They had attempted to go through
the said place on the board walk,
when Just as they got to the curve
they heard some men coming from
the other direction. 1t was pitch
dark and the children screamed with
fear. They ran back to the outside
entrance again and when they saw
the wagon they got close behind it
and followed it through to Mechan-
icsvilie. The place is quite dark be-
fore S o'clock and the electric light
should be lighted at that time. They
1.-THE managers) have been notified
to that effect, but it does not appear
to haze been noticed. When little
children scream with terror going
through that place, is not that a
great plea for something to be done
and done quickly?
