Park Board Considers Subitu.
 ting More Practical Lamps
ILLUMINATION IS FAILURE
Fire Commission Adopts Resolution on Death Of Capt. H. E. kittell-' spanish War Memorial Discussed -Baseball League Opening.

The lighting system on the Me moriai Boulevard was again the subject of discussion at a meeting ot the board of park commissioners last evening. the matter having been brought up b ythe receipt of a letter from resident of another city who pointed out tha, the pres ent arrangement detracted consider ably from the beauty of the eastern gateway 10 Bristol.
 The lights, which were installed when the Boulevard was construct ed about eight years ago. are SO dim that they are practically useless. Commissioner William J. Tracy last evening expressed the opinion of the entire board when he stated that the lamps should be removed and ones similar to those used in the white way be substituted. Funds for such change. however. are not availa ole although it is probable that recom- mendations for a new lighting sys- tenn will be made prior to the prep aration of next years budget.
 An inspection of the lamps on the boulevard indicated that number of panels were broken. permitting dust and dirt to sift in and cover the bulbs. These will be replaced under the direction of MT. Tracy. who is also park superintendent.
