Our information is that the rail-

the sign and the Board of Trade has
signiiied its willingness to buy the
electric fixtures. The city has been
asked to furnish the current. We
dO not know what the attitude OF
the Council may be in this matter,

light for this sign would be approved

expense would be involved, and 4
very attractive and effective adver-

IL should be remembered that these
lights would be gift to the city,
