A LIGHTING 'SYSTEM P011
MAIN lirilEET
A meeting of the business wen of
the town uveas oalled in the auditorium
of the .Library last Thursday morning
to consider the kind of lights that
were wanted for the Main street of
the town. Several propositious were
brought before the meeting. One
was to (adopt the System eon Main St.
that is being ixaealleo. eth the,remain-
Mg part of the town. Another was
to install b.n ornamental system t!trora
Huronto Wellington street on the
local' improvement pian, the garoperty
owners •benefitting to pay part of the
cost. Aswe nnclerstand it this;would
cost in the neighborhood of $5000.
The same system from the Common.

cost aboait lone half. This system in-
cludes era iron post with fancy bracket
fed from underground, wires. A Bite

be run behind the adores. The light
would lbe ks 600 watt lamp instead of.
a 100 watt lamp as now proposed. The
east to the town. for this system to
run from Ann, street to Leavitt's
theatre would be about $700 a year
and to the property holders a little
over 8 cents a foot frontage ifor 20
rears. To use tbe .poles that are ate
ready erected in this portion of the
town with overhead wires, using the
(100 watt lamp and placing a light
on the !Bell telephone poles would
cost the town a little over $500 a
year without the extra paid by the
business section. For the t+aeke of the
$200 extra cost to .thee town tb.os pre-
sentrdeemed that the underground.
