The selectmen of Hinsdale contracted
Friday with the Twin State Gas d Elec-
trio ompany of Brattleboro for lighting
our streets for a term of 10 years. The
contract calls for 40-candle-power lights
at $17 each a year, and S0-candle-power
lights at $40 each a year. Also provision
is made so that If a better light shall be
invented, which can be used at less ex-
pense, Hinsdale shall receive the benefit.
The electric light company is pledged to
put the line in thorough repair and to
furnish new street fixtures. The con-
tract is much better for the town than
the. one just expired. 1t is purposed to
replace the 4O-candle-power lights now
on Main street with S0-candle-power
lights, which will be a vast Improvement
over present conditions.

new EQUIPMENT "
FOR THE DUMMY


wv. a. Smith has ordered a new en-
.gine and one more car similar to the
car run with the dummy last year.
With the new equipment the Laurel
Park railway company can comofrt-
ably carry 500 people on one trip.
During the past winter an extern
sion has been made on the railroad
and many Improvements have been
made on the track which runs along
9Th avenue. Last Saturday and sun
day the motor ear was run satisfae-
torily every hour This car will be
used largely by itself early in the
morning and late at night when the
crowds have thinned out and it is not
necessary to run tie dummy and
larger car
Upon the arrival rof the dummy the
old one will be placed upon the side
track and kept in readiness to be
fired up and take the place of the
other in case of an accident, making
stop Of only 20 minutes before the
schedule can be regained This will
avoid all danger Of that which hap
pened last summer out at the park
when quite crowd of people were
forced to walk into town ON account
of an accident. Mr.. Smith says there
viii be no danger now of having to
walk to town on account Of the dunn
my not running.
The new engine will be heavier and
stronger than the old one and will be
capable of hauling all the cars in
town along the entire rout.
