EVANSVILLE COUNCIL
DECIDES ON NEW LIGHTS
Will Be Four Times Amount of
Light Now Supplied on Street
By G.. w. Diefenbach
Improved Street Lights Coming.

The Town Council met in special
session on Monday evening to consider
an improved street lighting system
proposed by the Associated Maryland
Electric Power Corporation, being a
subsidiary of the Associated Gas and
Electric Corporation of Johnstown,
Pa, which company is now serving
the town with electrical energy. A
representative body of citizens were
also present to hear the proposals
which We're looked upon with favor
generally, and eliminated in the Coun-
ell entering into contract with the
power company to furnish fifteen of
the latest type street lamps for the
main street of the town instead of
eleven now used. The proposed in
stallation will furnish -four times the
amount of light now being supplied.
The power company will erect and
maintain the system in every particu-
lar, thus relieving the council of much
annoyance and oversight as is the
case at present. There has been con-
siderable complaint from users of cleo
trio current about not being able to
operate their appliances to full capaci-
ty due to lack of energy. The repre-
sentative of the company assured all
that the lines will be renewed and put
in such shape that an abundance of
energy can be supplied at all times.
The Council fixed the annual tax
rate at 80 cents on the one hundred
dollars of taxation; that being the rate
in effect for a number of years.
The curfew ordinance, which has not
been enforced since the death of po-
liceman Nicholas Murphy about eight
years ago, was repealed, thereby re-
lieving the town authorities of the re-
sponsibilities imposed.
