| Considerable complaint is being heard of
the lack OF proper arrangements for light
! ing the King street roadway all the way
| from the corporation limits to the immedi-
ate approaches of the new union railroad
| depot at the head of King street Since the
union passenger service was opened last
week the extension of this street westward
which is the main approach to the depot
mas been In constant use by pedestrians
throughout the day and until a late hour
at night, and much Inconvenience has been
experienced by reason of the absence of
lights throughout a considerable portion of
the distance. After leaving the corner of
King and Peyton streets where there is
an electric light, persons journeying to the
depot at night are compelled to walk in
oarKness until they reach the vicinity of
the station Coupled with the absence of
a sidewalk for part of the way. this
deficiency makes walking to and from the
depot at night disagreeable and even dam
gerous.
