Vashon To Have New
Street Lights

Those who have fallen over the pipes
sticking out of the new sidewalks at
Vashon need wonder no longer what 1t
is all about. for in q few days the new
lights will be installed and those pro-
jections will be out Of the way. under
the posts Of the new standard lights
that will replace the center suspension
lights now In use. There will be twelve
OF these lights, which will add still
more to the cosmopolitan air of our
village
The lights were purchased from the
City Light Company Of Seattle, and
were formerly in use on the streets Of
the city, before the present cluster
lights were installed.
Funds for the installation Of these
lights resulted from the carnival stag
ed by the vashon Business Mems Club
in July. Two years ago the money
realized from the carnival was spent In
fire-fighting equipment, last year 1t
was used to pay q substantial part Of
the debt that apparently made the new
high school out Of the question. SO
this year the club decided that they
would spend the money at home in
vashon, and the result was the pur-
chase Of the lights.
The business men Of vashon have
a justifiable pride In the progress the
village has made and Its improved APP
pearance In the past few months. Had
it not been for their willingness to bear
a substantial part Of the expense Of
the new pavement that work would
not have been done. Contrary to the
popular belief the expense Of the paw
ing Of vashon was only partly paid for
by county funds. True the work was
done with county labor and equip
ment but every property owner in the
village paid his share Of the expense.
The work of installing the new side
walk lights is being done by T. J..
Steffenson Of the Island Electric Shop
and is being paid for by funds belong
ing to the vashon Business Mems Club.
