Town considers all night street lighting after contract expires
At the Wednesday night board meeting it was announced the five year street lighting contract with the American Woolen Co has expired. Officials seek an estimate to furnish power for all night lighting, with lights currently off at 1 30 a m except on special occasions. Rising labor and material costs will influence renewal. The idea has circulated for some time and a town meeting urged investigation. No formal meeting with the company has occurred yet, but a conference is planned.
