WHITE WAY PROPOSITION
DEFEATED FRIDAY NIGHT
Additional Lights Authorized to
Be Installed by COuncil-Win
Improve Second Street

Oakland's opportunity for white
Way" along the main streets of the
downtown section was defeated Fri
day night at the meeting of the Mayor
and Town Council when only one of
the councilmen voted in favor of the
proposition. In its place, however, five
additional lights were authorized to
be placed in conspicuous places along
the main thoroughfares and in the
residential sections, it was stated yes
terday by Mayor Lawrence Fraley.
The agitation for "White Way
was started about two months ago,
when Charles Snyder, representative
of the West Penn System, offered to
supply the necessary equipment free
of charge, install it and therefore the
only expense that the town would
have to meet being the extra charge
attached to the lighting bill. 1t was
felt at the time that the chances were
good for establishing the new lighting
arrangement, but since that time some
members of Council have been more
or less opposed to the innovation.
To Improve Second Street.
Second street, from Oak to Water
street, will be improved with the same
material that has been used on other
streets of the town, the Council de-
cided This will make Second street
the only entirely improved thorough
fare for it's entire length in town.
Other matters claiming the atten-
ton of Council at it's meeting was the
passing upon of the monthly pay roll
and discussing of minor public mat
tiers.
The next regular meeting of Council
will be held on Monday, October 3.
