Be a Regalar Meeting of Council Friday
Evening ‘he location and Power of
Lights was Determined,
With such a epirit of unanimity
that a spectator could scarcely believe
there had ever been a disagreement in
the body, the six councilmen at a ses-
gion on ¥riday night rose to their feet
to pass a resolution designating the
number, the location, and the power
of the street lights for Centre Hall,
The question was not discussed in ges.
gion, the matter having been gone
over at previous meetings. There wili
be more or less division of opinion as
to the wisdom of the council's action,
and to everyone it will be a query as
to the reasoning process by which the
question was determined.
The resolution as passed calls for
twelve lights of one hundred candle
power and eight lights of two hun-
dred and fifty candle power, located
as follows:
MAIN

Near 8. J. Rowe residence

This arrangement is a radical
change from the original plan of ic-
cating the lights ss well as to the
candle power at the various pointe,
The first contract called for but two
high-power lights, one calculated for
the diamond, and the other for the sta-
tion,
The contract for lighting with the
BState-Centre Electric Company was not
ordered signed. The instrument calle
for light from one half hour after sun-
get until day light ; ligtis to be main-
tained by the company, and the ex-
pense of locating the lights specified
in the proposed coniract to be borne
by the company, but all expense for
the erection of additional lights to be
paid for by the borough; the 250-
candle power lights are rated at $87.00
per year, and ibe smaller ones at $25.00
per year. Al the rates specified the
contract price for lighting for one
year wil: be $596,

cable as to its operations and fair to
the National Government, the busi-
nees interests of the Nation, and the

disfavor with the banking interests,
At seventy-seven years young, Hoop.
