city lacks just thirty-fve dollars per
month of having enough funds in the
lighting fund to pay for this i'm

The mayor stated yesterday that
he is going to see the white way
built in this city, and would appeal
to the excise board another year to
grant the city sufficient funds for
this improvement.
Marietta already has adopted this
plan of lighting the main street of
the city and it is a wonderful i'm
provement. Mayor Roberts has talked
with most of the Main street property
owners, and they favor the plan, and
are willing to do their part toward
getting the plan in operation. The
mayor states that they have agreed
to purchase the posts in front of
their property if the city will set and
maintain them afterwards, and now
all that is lacking is the above-men-
toned thirty five dollars per month,
and, as the city cannot, under the
law, contract a debt without the
money available to liquidate same,
it will be another year before the
dream is realized.
