"A half-dozen or more out of
town parties are interested in fur
nishing Honesdale with cheaper and
better lights. For several years the
taxpayers of Honesdale have paid
annually. $4,000 or thereabouts,
for electric arc lights. A PROPOSE
tion which Is meeting with the ap-
proval of the citizens of the town,
is now being considered and a de-
monstration will soon be made. By
changing from electric arc lamps to
the new system of lighting it would
be a saving of about half of the
amount now being paid for light.
This applied to the street would
give Honesdale a paved Main street.
