To LIGHT STREETS
Council Accepts Proposition of
Business Mems Associa-
ton to Build Arches
IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT
viii Be Erected at Cost of $4,000 and
Turned Over to City Free of
Cost of Construction.

The city council last evening adopt
Business Mems association to construct
permanent arches over the street inter
sections on Second and Third avenues
and Twentieth street, and to maintain
and pay for lighting the arches when
they are completed. The proposition
If the association is to construct nine
double and two single arches, at total
cost of about $500, and when COM
pleted and equipped and wired, to turn
these over to the city free of cost. The
arches are to be of Pinch wrought iron
pipe supported on poles of 3E-inch
wrought iron, imbedded i'll a concrete
foundation. The arches will be % feet
high, and will be equipped with suffi-
cient number of incandescent lamps to
give a total of not less than 352-Candle
power for each arch.
Light mt Small Cost.
The Peoples Power company has
agreed TO furnish the current for light
ing the arches at the rate of $3.50 an
hour, and to replace all broken and
burned-out lamps. This will make the
cost of lighting and maintenance TO
the city, small, the lighting as planned
costing 50 a week. 1t is planned to
have the lights burn two hours every
Wednesday and Saturday evening, and
| IN special occasions when the city is
entertaining conventions and other
gatherings.
The double arches are to be placed at
| the intersections of Second avenue and
Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets; Third avenue and
Seventeenth. Eighteenth Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets, and Fourth ave
nue. and Twentieth street. Two single
arches will be placed over Second ave
nue. at Seventeenth street, it being I'M
possible to construct double arches at
| this location.
| The proposition was presented by
Alderman Prick, and explained by F. r
Myers, president of the Business Mems
association. Only two aldermen, John
HolZhammer and Martin McNealy, OPP
posed its adoption.
| Committees Confer.
| At the suggestion of Mr.. Myers, the
| council instructed the street and allev
committee to act with the Business
| Mems association committee in the
| placing of the arches The work will
be commenced in the near future
These arches will illuminate the bust
mess district brilliantly, and will add
much to the attractiveness of the city
in the evening. 1t will do away with
much of the cost of decorations for
special occasions, such as conventions
The plan grew out of suggestion that
he streets be lighted with wire arches
for the Odd Fellows meeting last week
When the business men were approach
ed for that proposition, nearly all ia
vOred making the arches of more per
Imanent character.
| Adopt Plat.
| The council adopted the plat of the
second addition to Brooks grove, il
the eastern part of the city.
| Owing to the celebration last evenins
the council met an hour earlier thar
usual, and adjourned after a brief ses
ision.
