Night lights to burn all night borough votes April 1 start
The town held its monthly meeting with Chief Burgess Steiner and councilors present. Joseph Kofroth urged a franchise for a new electric light company to provide all night street lighting for 1250 per light per year, but no action was taken. The Light Committee was ordered to have lights burn all night from April 1 at 13.50 per year. Citizens welcomed the change after Edison Electric Co. supplied gratis light last month. The council also planned mud removal from streets, redeemed water bonds, and passed a second reading on a wooden-roof ban with bills approved for payment.
