 Much righteous indignation is be ! ing expressed throughout the town. and especially by residents of The l Street. regarding the slipshod manner l in which the street lighting is main tained. The lights are paid for by in dividual residents. but through some method of control that is totally in eomprehensible, they display an amaz- l ing whimsieality in regard 10 service. l Frequently high noon will find the flights aglow in competition with hlaz 1 ing sunlight overhead. while in the early evening hours when their radi ance is most needed, the Street is as dark as the tomb of the well-knowr and late lamented Capulets. Natural I lv. having given generous price for the maintenance of the lights, the paying residents are annoyed and in- dignant. A joint lawsuit, which would. at least, provoke investigation of the system--or lack of system used is being urged.
