To Restore Electric Lighting.
At the town meeting Saturday after
noon. it was voted to instruct the select
men to make such contract as possible
with the Electric Light and Bobbin Co.
for the lighting of streets and Town hall
from Nov. LIST to April list, not to exceed
@33. 80 per month.
Mr. Barnes for the company says they
cannot afford to run the plant for what it
has been paying, and they have proposed
an advance of SOC. per year on each 10 C.
D. lamp and the price of S33.33 per
month for the streets and Town hail.
The latter price has been met; now II all
the patrons will agree to the advance of
Soc each lamp, we will be assured of cleo
tric lights until April 1st next, but II
enough of the patrons cut out lights so
the income of the company is still held
where it has been, the lights have gone
out.
The losing of our electric lights would
he a great calamity, for there has never
been ANYTHING instituted here that in
way has benefited the place to such an ex-
tent as our electric lights. People who
have come here have been surprised to
find electric lights IN this small inland
town and to lose them now will be to
drop backward.
Former residents who were here this
summer and had not been here for years
were high in praise of our electric lights,
our good roads and the good repair and
nice appearance in which our buildings
We're kept. People who came here TINS
summer for the first time were more than
