STILL FOR ONE
LIGHT SIGN

Councilman Lambert will intro
duce an ordinance in the city coun-
Gil tonight amending ordinance
A1143, passed January IA, 1910, reg
ulating electric light signs.
The amendment will require that
every electric light sign have a four
candle power light to every square
foot of sign surface and that each
sign or device shall burn at least
200 candle power.
At the office of the Mosso-Berry
Electric Co. it is announced that
this ordinance, like the one 1t
amends, cuts out the one light cleo
trio sign that many small mer-
chants were beginning to install.
These lights are used great deal
in the east and cheaper the cost of
an illuminated sign.
The war to exterminate the one
light sign was led by the Washing
ton Water Power Co. Two hundred
candle power means more revenue
for them.

Bishop William II. Mcvickar of the
Episcopal diocese Of Rhode Island, has
hundreds Of Boston friends who will
be interested in a story they are tell
ing down in Providence about him.
The bishop is as big physically as he
is mentally. On a certain occasion
some years ago, he preached a sermon
on the need for missionary work in
the back towns Of his state, and espe-
cially mentioned the town of Foster,
which certainly deserved as much as
he said about 1t.
There are a good many fighters In
Foster, and the worst of the lot an
nounced to all who cared to hear that
when he went to Providence he
would make 1t his business to chas-
tise the bishop. He didn't happen to
visit the city until a month or so ago.
On his return he joined the crowd
about the stove in the village post.
