Electric company was in the city TO-
day to confer with Secretary Bradley
of the Board of Trade on the subject
which has recently been introduced
into board meetings here, OF ornamen-
tai street lighting Mr.. Clark stated
that this method OF sighting would be
perfectly feasible in Barre and could
easily be carried out. To put in this
system Of lighting it would be neces-
sary to feed the halls and buildings
on the Main street by the way Of Sum

be run underground. Telephone wires
are no longer in evidence as far down
as Granite street and with the cleo.
trie light pole wires removed it would
make great deal Of difference in the
looks OF the city streets.
