Christmas Lights
Add Holiday Beauty

Many Christmas lights have made
the streets of Libby attractive and
gay during the past week. Most
of these have been in the residential
districts though several business
houses have also decorated with
lights.
For a number of years house and
yard decoration contests were spon-
sored in town, and many beautiful
effects were produced, making the
residential section attractive to
many who enjoyed driving about
the streets during the evenings and
viewing the decorations, many of
them outstanding.
During the past few years this
contest has not been maintained
but there are many who are hop
ing that this stimulus for a "city
beautiful" at the holiday times will
be renewed, which with approp-
riately decorated business streets
will add much to the attraction of
an already attractive little city.

In another portion of this paper
the proposed new rates for local
service at Troy and Libby appear.
These rates have been filed with
the regulatory body at Helena.

this body for hearing in the near

been granted by the Department Of
Public Utilities of Washington and
proposed rate increases are now
pending with the Idaho Commits

being rushed as fast as humanity
