City executive board considers lights system and street plans
Mr George A Miller proposed ornamental street lighting with posts every 180 feet funded by property owners while the city would supply power at 45 dollars per post. The board discussed contracts with Southern Power and Greenville Electric and rejected the proposal. It also approved widening district improvements on West Trade street and a new street linking Elizabeth avenue and East Seventh street to reduce dust and traffic. Engineering salaries were raised and police gear approved, with two firemen resigning. A crematory site remains unsettled, likely north of the current plant near the Southern Railway.
