Better System Street Lights,
 All Night White Way Planned
Board of Public Affairs Will Ask City Council Monday Night to Approve Contract For Ten Year Period
 With Pine Bluff Co. For Improved Service

A 10-year contract between the city of Pine Bluff and the Pine Bluff com pany, whereby the city will obtain an increase of S6 in it's street lighting for the same money it has been eXpending, will come before the city council at it's regular session Monday night, when the board of public affairs will ask the council to approve the con- tract.
 The matter was placed in the hands of the board of public affairs by the city council some weeks ago, and the members of the board have been de- voting considerable time and attention to the subject, finally reaching an agreement which will be signed if it meets with the approval of the coun- Gil.
 There is apparently no reason to expect the council will fail to approve the contract, particularly because the city appears to benefit greatly, while individual business houses which have been paying for the city's white way lighting system will be relieved of this burden under tke new plan.
 A Real White Way.
 Under the tentative contract, Pine Bluff will have a real white way, ex- tending on Main street from the court house to Eighth avenue, and on Bar raque street and Second avenue be- tween State and Walnut strets. On
