PROPOSED WHITE WAY
LITTLE FALLS MAY BE u.LUMIN
ATED BY POST LIGHTING
SYSTEM

The city council met in an adjourn
ed session Wednesday evening, with
all aldermen present except Brown.
The main reason for the meeting was
to take up the matter OF the proposed
white way.
Alderman Loucks, chairman Of the
post lighting system committee, re-
ported that the matter had been taken
up with the Water Power company,
and that estimates had been made.
T. G. Gordon, who was present at
the meeting, addressed the council,
giving a summary of the plans and
cost Of the proposed white way. As
suggested, this system of lighting
would extend for eight and half
blocks, beginning at Broadway and
Second street west and running on
Broadway to Second street east. The
system would also run one block north
and one block south on First street
east and one block south on Second
street east on the west side Of the
street. The lighting would be the same
as is now used on Second street north
east, with clusters Of five lamps on
each post, four sixty watt mazdas and
Eone forty watt. The estimated cost of
installing this form of lighting wonld
aggregate $500 per block or $5,27O fol-
lighting the city as proposed. This,
4h0wever, would not include the Broad.
way bridge. The cost, aside Of the in
stallation, would be but $24 more per
month than at present. Should the ,city
install the new white way, it is under.
stood that the county commissioners
will put in the same form Of lighting
arennd the court house block. Another
meeting, as announced in another
colunn, viii be held Monday evening,
August II, when the matter will be
taken up more thoroughly.
An ordinance, relating to sidewalks
and bonlevarda, which was introduced
by Alderman Carlson, was passed by the
council Upon examining Bay street,
prior to laying cement sidewalks, it
was found that number Of shade
trees stood two feet outside of the lots
and in order to build the walk accord
ing to the provisions Of Section 10 Of
Ordinance No. 1853, it would be neces-
sary to remove the trees or to build the
walk around them. The amendment
provides that the walk be built two
feet from the lots and cuts down the
width Of the boulevard, which should
be six feet, to four. 5
The street commissioner was given
permission to expend NOT TO exceed
1900 more for improving Broadway.
