The committee of the Broad Street
! Improvement Association met in the

Joseph M. Byrne presiding, and r. Il.
Young and It. S. Pemberton, of the

hibition will be given early next week

flaming lamp and also by two of
the lamps on one pole. They said a
new style of pole and lamp is being
made by the Scott Electrical Company
which will be exhibited.
Chairman George H. Lambert, of the
lighting committee of the Board of
Works. was told that the association
hoped the board would put up along the
sidekalk on the west side of Military
Park fiaring lamps in place of the old
and dim arc lamps now in use, and if
this was done at a minimum cost the
association would be responsible for the
illumination of the remainder of Broad
street from Market street to Central
avenue
1t was decided to have the association
Incorporated before contracts are made

Because the president of the asso-
