SYSTEM ASKED
FOR FIRST BLOCK

The first block In the city to have
an ornamental lighting system will
probably be North Ninth street, be
tween Main and North A streets.
Several business concerns on that
block have inquired of the board OF
public works what kind OF an agree
ment will be satisfactory to the city
for the installation of the ornamental
lighting system and today they were
notified by the board that II the prop
erty owners would pay the entire cost
of installing the lamps and standards.
including those on the Intersections of
the block, the city would furnish cur
rent for the lamps without cost and
would also assume the expense OF
maintaining the system.
One of the men behind the move
ment fol. modern lighting system for
the first block of North Ninth street
said today that he believed the offer
made by the city would be entirely ac-

petition for the installation of such a
system on this block, signed by at
least rs per cent Of the affected prop
erty owners, as required by law, will
probably be submitted in a short time.
