Dear Sir;
/ wish to follow up and support
Mr. E. J. Driear's recent comments
regarding the destruction of street
lighting equipment in Libby and
regarding which an article appeared
in the Western News last week.
| am sure that if the parties who
destroy street lighting lamps, globes
and other equipment would stop to
realize that street lighting is one
of the most essential factors in the
safety and welfare of the city, the
malicious and mischievious prac-
tees would cease almost entirely.
In addition to the protection and
safety Of thee community provided
by street lighting, the procurement
of lamps, globes and accessories is
very serious matter at the present
time due to the war time restric-
tons on materials used for civilian
PaA BoSNos lilI ltNAll0 Which, QUIZ
necessary in the operation and main
tenance Of street lighting systems
are very much affected by war time
restrictions and furthermore the
company must of necessity operate
within specified quotas of materials
and supplies The curtailment in
the use of material is very vital
in the successful conduct of the war
and to destroy any kind Of useful
equipment is unpatriotic.
The damage to the company's
street lighting system has been 60
ing on for quite a number of
months, reaching climax on Hal
lowe'en night, and has continued to
considerable extent since Hal
loWe'en.
Yours very truly,
