It was suggested that some garages’ second floors are not used and could be used for this purpose. If anyone is interested, Arthur Sprecher may be contacted for details. It is the job of the merchants and home owners to light the displays each evening to make the project a success. If the dis- plays were all hooked together, it would cost approximately $1- ,500 just for the wire and in- installation. Permanent wiring is not allowed to remain on the P.P.&L. poles.
