Acton to Vote on Municipal Electric Lighting By Law
Acton property owners will vote tomorrow on a by law to permit the town to provide and supply electric lighting by the corporation. Opponents show quietly, but proponents expect a large majority as elsewhere electrification is municipalized and viewed as revenue for the town. The by law estimates 442 annually for debentures, leaving 262 to be raised by taxes about one mill, raising tax for many properties. The plan would bring electric light to streets with costs borne by ratepayers, though some fear tax support may be needed if revenue falls short. Voters along Mill and Main Streets supported lighting as they paid weekly for street illumination last summer.
