WILL CROSS RAILROAD

Immediate procedure in the extern
sion of the city's white way lighting
system on Montgomery street across
the Seaboard Air Line railroads main
line tracks to William street was au-
thorized by the Henderson City Coun-
Gil Monday night at its regular month
ly meeting for September. The same
committee that was named some
months ago to have charge of the
work was continued in authority, with
power to make decisions in the loca-
ton of the poles and other details.
Under the plan for the extension,
six light poles are to be placed on the
Montgomery street extension across
from Garnett to William. This will
carry this modernization alongside
the railroad and bus passenger ter
minals and the citys leading hotel.
In addition to this extension, two
additional poles will be placed on
Winder street on the east side of the
intersection with Garnett.
In all, a total Of eight new light
poles are to be installed.
The work will be done by the Car
olina Power and Light Company
which concern will furnish the poles,
with the city providing the cross
arms, or much the same arrangement
as with the installation of the white
way along Garnett street last year
The power company will be in
structed to proceed at once and to
complete the job as quickly as pos
sible. Most of the preliminary work
has already been done, and arrange
ments have been made, so that it is
expected there will be a minimum OF
delay.
A considerable amount of routine
business was transacted ky the Coun-
Gil last night, though the session last
