ORNAMENTAL POSTS CONSIDERED
Bailiffs Giving Attention to New Light
ing system.

Shall the village of Brattleboro install
ornamental lamp posts with wires
underground through Main street from
the Brattleboro House to the library is
a question which is being considered
by the board Of bailiffs. The much dis
cussed and long drawn out negotiations

instructed to make 10-year contract

cent tungsten lamps sufficient in num-
Der to light the streets satisfactorily.
This means doing away with the arcs,
which have proved unsatisfactory and
expensive, and so it will be necessary
to erect more unsightly poles on Main
street on which to place the S0-candle-
power incandescents.
1t has been suggested to the bailiffs
that now is the ideal time to install a
system of ornamental lamp posts
through Main street. even though por-
tion of the expense had to be borne BY
the village. All the telephone wires on
the principal streets have been put
under ground, and it is obvious that
any arrangement which would relegate
unsightly electric wires on principal
business streets to underground con-
duits would improve the general APP
pearance of the streets.
Overhead wires and poles, besides
presenting an unsightly appearance on
business streets, would be source of
great danger and handicap in the case
of a fire on these streets, as has been
well proved by the experience Of sew
eral other places in this vicinity. The
new scheme, as suggested to the bail
ifs, would leave only the trolley wire
on Main street, and it is thought that
lamp post could be designed with an
posts for this purpose would mot be
needed. The tentative p2an, as it has |
been discussed thus far, would be to
put in ornamental iron or cement posts |
through Main street from the Brattle- |
boro House to the free library at inter |
walls of about 100 feet, which would re-
quire Is posts.
The cost of the posts would depend |
largely upon the style and design Sc
lected, but is thought by those inter
ested that $1,000 would pay for this
few other business streets. Upon each
post would be a bracket with three,
