' STREET LIGHTS FOR HIGHSPIRE Ten Years of Agitation Will Come to Head Tuesday; Plan Is Favored After ten years of agitation and ef fort oil the part of leading citizens, the borough of Highspire will obtain lighted streets within the next few months. This, at least. Is the predic tion of a prominent councilman. A call has been issued for a special meeting of the "borough fathers" next Tuesday evening when the plans for lighting the borough streets with elec tricity will be considered. It is likely that about forty lamps will be in stalled at the various street intersec tions, if the plans are adopted, and that the lamps will be of the same type now used In Steelton. During the past ten years increas ing sentiment favoring lighted streets has caused the borough council to' make several attempts to solve the question. A municipally-owned plant was considered and turned down. Later a plan similar to the one in operation at Royalton, where a dis tributing station is owned by the i borough and current is supplied by j the York Haven Power Co., was dis : cussed and finally an offer was made I by the Harrisburg Light and Power Company and it is likely that this company, w'hicli lights the streets of Steelton, will be given the contract to light Highspire's streets. William Ralph, Widely Known Resident, Dies William Ralph, aged (17, widely known resident of Steelton and em i ployed for many years as a machinist at the Pennsylvania Steel Company, died suddenly early this morning at his home, from heart failure.

Later he went to Roanoke, Va., where he resided a short time, returning to Oberlin where he has been living a retired life for i several years. Mr. Ralph is survived by his wife. Mrs. Amanda Ralph, two sons, Thomas Ralph of Gary. Ind., and William Kalpli, of Portsmouth. Ohio; also a brother and a sister, living in Bar row-In-Furness. England.
