ALL-NIeHT LIGHTING
Admittedly a Good Move, but Will
 Cost Money.

A division of opinion has developed among the citizens of Danielson over the proposition of giving the borough an all-night street light service. The matter will be given careful considera- tion at the adjourned special borough meeting to be held Friday evening. Everyone is willing to acknowledge that an all-night service would be a good thing, but if is going to cost mon- ey-perhaps one-third more than the present total street lights cost-and the question arises as to whether or not the taxpayers or at least the vot- CTS, are willing to assume the extra expense.
