All Lights Installed
After the Kensington Fire district
has installed all OF the new lights on
the Swamp road in that town from
Upson's corner to Towers corner in
New Britain, some of the residents
who a short time ago were staunch
supporters Of having the lights in
stalled, are now Clamoring because
there are too many on this road.
The members of the district feel
that they have accomplished a feat
In having the road as well lighted as
II is and they have reason to believe
so. The lights have been placed every
third pole apart and the once upon
time, dreaded dark road of the night
traveller has been made into veritable
broadway with all the lights.
Some are inclined to believe that
the lights will cost the town a great
deal of money but if they had been
placed four or five poles apart the in
stallation would have been practically
the same, it is said. The lights are
a decided improvement to Kensington
and are one of the features which are
bound to help the town progress in
stead of going backwards.
