SALISBURY
NEEDS LIGHT
Ornamental System Pro
posed for Eastern Shore
Town
ASK ESTIMATES
ON COST OF WORK

SALISBURY, Nd. Jan. 17.-Sal-
isbury will be the first town on the
peninsula TO adopt an ornamental
illumination system on its streets, II
the plans now under consideration
by the City Council are carried out.
City Engineer f. II. Dryden has
been instructed by the municipal
body to secure an estimated ac-
count of the expenditure that would
be involved, and a draft for the re-
moval and transposltion of certain
trunk lines of the present lighting
system and the Insulation of the
ornamental lights on both sides Of
the streets on which the pOposed dm-
provement will be made.
The streets under consideration
are Division from Church to Main;
Main from Division to the bridge.
which will soon be replaced by n new
structure and equipped with similar
lights. If the cost is not too great.
the plans may also include Dock
street and Camden avenue from
Dock to the bridge, II Is said,
Ornamental lighting Yill do away
with all the wooden poles on the
streets where the plan Is adopted,
and on Main street it will mean the
abolishing OF the unsightly station
airy awnings. which are gradually
being torn away. The work may be
accomplished It is believed by En-
gineer Dryden without breaking the
streets proper and without imped-
ing the usual heavy traffic in that
district. The trunk lines may be in
serted into the street curb, II isl
said, without entailing undue ex-
pense TO the city.
