Even if we had the service xtended until 1 a. m., it would be a eat improvement. We understand that many of the pro- perty owners voted for the by-law, thinking that this ne • service would be started. A better st eet lighting service was also promised, ut this could not be carried out, owin , to the very dis- agreeable weather. This will come as soon us we have avorable weather.
