Commission Alarmed by Street Light Breakage in Subdivisions
The Commission voiced alarm over continued destruction of street lights in Glenlea and Lakeview subdivisions despite Hydro Department efforts. They noted a $9.00 replacement cost per light, funded by ratepayers through taxes, and instructed the Property committee to investigate past decisions. Receipts show deeds for Alice Street property and a second substation. The auditor reports an eight percent profit from power sales to consumers. A safety display project was discussed, with plans to light the hydro office area and improve lighting on Lake Avenue. A safety award for perfect departmental safety was to be framed for display. Accounts totaling 15 176.85 were approved.
