KEEP GASL|GHTS
FOR EMERGENCIES
New Plan Calls For Thirteen;
Location of Lights in Fourth
and Fifth Wards

Although by far the greater number
of Steelton's streets are lighted by
electricity. some still are Illuminated
by gas. When the proposed plan for inn
proving the street lighting system was
broached in council some of the mem
bers expressed a desire to do away
with all gas lights.
President j. Y. w. Reynders, how
ever. took a stand against the plan on
the ground that some day the electric
light companies could be prevented
from raising their rates by changing
TO the gas lamps--if such a contin-
gency should ever arise. In order to
keep competition alive there will be
thirteen gas lights used under the new
lighting plan.
The locations of lamps in the Fourth
and Fifth wards follow. The other
wards have already been published in
the Telegraph.
