ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Want the City to Havs A White
Way.

If the idea and suggestions of several
business men in the city materlallze,
Frederick will have a White Way that
will transform the commercial section
and the central part of the city into ver-
table New York Broadway. According
to rough drafts about one hundred light
standards of five cluster lights are sug
gested to carry out the scheme.
This move has the hearty Endorsement
of Mayor Lewis H. Fraley. The Mayor
says that the city would certainly coop
crate in this movement and If the plant
permitted, the city would furnish the
electric current for this White Way. The
Mayor is enthusiastic and claims that
white way is just what Frederick needs.
The plans do not stop at the installa-
tion of approximately one hundred light
standards, for it has been suggested that
the merchants and the business men
hang out electric signs of unique design.
The lights and the signs combined would
transform Frederick from semi-lighted
CITY to one of the most brilliantly ilumi-
mated towns in this section of the State.
Not only would it beautify the city, but
il would draw thousands OF people to the
commercial section of the city it is be-
lieved. This. would naturally mean a
boom for trade. Market street has be-
come famous for its hurrying and bust
ling pedestrians on Saturday nights, and
there is every reason to believe that this
