TIE question Of proper Lights for

There are At the present time, lights
at First and Main streets, Main and
Water streets and First and Blondeau
streets The suggestion is made that
the light be left In fits present posi-
tion at Main and Water streets but
that the other two be shifted to do
duty on the bridge. There Is some
question as to the necessity for the
Lights In their present close proximity.
The light from First and Main
streets could be shifted over TO the
Intersection OF Bridge street and Main
street. 1t was pointed out This light
could be placed on a one bracket pole
similar to that at Seventh and Blon.
deau streets. The Bridge street sign
which IL to be erected might also be
placed on this pole.
The light from First and Blondeau
streets could be moved over 70 the
point where tho bridge approach be-
gins, and where there Is q curve in
Bridge street. This would give light
for the approach and also safeguard
this part of the street from reckless
drivers or those whose eyes mfght
have become befogged from Q visit to
an Illinois oasis. The Hight on an ele-
walton, such as the bridge, would
throw light on Blondeau street,
II Is likely that something VIII be
taken up officially in this regard with
