The good people OF Townshend love
darkness rather than light but not, We
ire sure, because their deeds are evil.
There was time about IL years ago
When few incandescent lights hung over
he streets, at least there was one and
We think more. These were short lived,
however, Then after period Of dark ,
less a few street lamps arose and cast
heir glimmer along the path. Now once l
more the reign OF darkness has begun
gain. The lamps are not lighted for .
ONE reason and people go about the
treets lifting their feet high to. avoid /
he possible stones in the sidewalk and /,
earthly wonder if they have passed i
hose stone posts in safety. Only Mr.
,urwell sends ray of light from his
very stable. Now it is not always con- !
enient to go about like Diogenes with a ;
lntern looking for man nor Is 1t TO be
expected that those people, by whose :
remises the lamps are, should furnish )
he oil year in and year out for nothing.
ould not some arrangement be made by
'hich the expense OF lighting the street
hen the moon is not on duty could be S
haired by all? The lamps are not so v
umerous that the expense would be p
ery great and it would bear no compar- {
on to the greater convenience TO those I
no walk the sidewalks OF an evening. )
