Street Lights Out of Commission
| Because the insulation is worn off
the lines of the Arkansas Light and
Power Company's distributing system
the street lights have become a joke
Every time the wind blows about as
strong as a mans barleycorn breath
the wires come in contact, causing
short circuit and blowing out the
globes. During the month of August
there were sixteen nights when the
street lights were out of commission.
| OF course, the city keeps tab on this
| lack of service and RENTS to the
company with proper discounts. Dur
| ing the past week the lights have
been out of commission and will so
remain until the company installs
new globes.

their stores on SUNDAY morning. The
Courier-Index suggest all the busi-
ness men should have this done.
After the Saturday and Saturday
night rush of business the streets and
sidewalks are left in dirty and ex-
tremely unsightly condition for Sun
