part each year in their taxes, and
the city will pay for the keeping
Of the lamps on the posts lit 5up.
Already there are more than
enough signers on the pe.ition, and
this style of lighting is assured
1t is estimated that the cost of
the white wty will be about 500
per post which price would include
the putting of the wire UNDER
ground, and everything made ready
for the turning on of the lights.
AS there are, three posts ON each
side of the street, or six to block
the cost would be $500 per block,
or .$25 per lot, which would cost
each property holder about $500
per year for five years.
Other street lighting will be ar
ranged for the residence portion OF
the city. and this may be done by
public subscription. Whether the
residence portion of the city is lit
or not, the white way for two
blocks on main street is assured,
and it is believed that the work of
installing same will be started
within 80 days. &3
