WANT DETAILS
OF new CITY
LIGHTING Law
City Officials Await Com
plete Information Before
Taking Up Proposed Orna-
mental Street System.

Members Of the board Of public
works are anxious to learn the provis-
ions of the new state law just enacted
which provides for the installation of
ornamental lighting systems. They
know that it provides the initiation Of
proceedings when a petition signed by
fifty per cent of. the property owners
on any street, and that for the main
tenance of such systems property own
ers must pay IS per cent Of the cost.
What they want to know particularly
what share Of the installation cost the
property owners must pay and wheth-
er the cost Of the connecting cable
systems must be borne entirely by the
city on the basis that the cable service
Is part Of plant valuation.
81 think that It is only fair the prop
erty owners are required to pay a
considerable part Of the cost OF operat-
ing such systems Mayor Robbins
said. This year our 400 recently in.
stalled street lamps will cost the city
about 1000 to operate. If ornament
al lighting systems are installed with
approximately 200 more lamps our
public lighting bill would be increased
fifty per cent next year, an expense
too great for the city to bear alone
In the past our city government has
been too liberal on public improve
ments. In consequence our citizens
are accustomed to asking much more
of the city than citizens of other
towns Here. for instance, the city
pays one-third the cost of paving
streets. In nearly every other city the
entire cost Is assessed against the
benefited property owners"
