SEVEN NIGHTS
EACH WEEK TO
Be LlCHTLESS
Latest Order to Fuel Ad-
ministration Refers to
Street illumination.

District Fuel Administrator r. e.
Griffith said today that he has receiv-
ed word from the federal fuel ad :
ministrator for North Dakota, Captain
]. a. Baker, to the effect that the coal
situation demands drastic measures.
In accordance with tEat, Captain
Baker expresses the wish that four
lamps on each of the 1S2 ornamental
street lights in the city be turned off
permanently, for the duration Of tho
war. in other words, hat the city try
to get along with 72S fewer street
lights than before.
The former arrangement called for
only two Of the so-called 'lightless
nights" each week. Now every night
will be without excess illumination.
1t was pointed out that while the
original lightless night order includes
the eN%tinguishing of lights in electric
signs. etc., the recent communities
tion of Captain Baker does not SD"
anything about the signs. Mr.; Grit
fifth, however, intimated that the adj
ministration would appreciate every
step in the direction Of further, saw
inss which would be taken by the To-
cal merchants.
There is "a possibility that Grand
Forks soon will have it's customary
Illumination system restordl, how
ever. Some time in the spring the
REQ River Power company expects To
be able to use water power for tn"
generation Of light, and when this
happens, the city Will have ordinary
service because the fuel administra-
ton has not indicated that it intend,
to control or restrict the water power
of the country.
Some fear has been expressed that
semi-dark nights even times a week
will encourage criminals and may
cause serious accidents. This gloomy
view is not shared by several officials
who have made a study of conditions
prevailing in other cities.

while another important element will

that the first course will be followed.
Advocates Of the opposite course

the effect of the record breaking bliz-

still are running late. but the rail-
roads gradually are resuming >their
normal schedules and indications are
that the effects of the storm will not
be of especial seriousness If the
weather remains clear for a few days.

cast a rather pessimistic cloud Over
the situation by %forecasting more
