NEW LIGHT ON FRONT ST.

town, with the old system of light
ing now completely retired.
This past week an additional
light was placed on the north side
of Front Street at Division Street
to brighten up this area for the
benefit of the Fire Department
which moves fast in time of fire
and was needed for protection of
pedestrians, particularly children,
who crowd around when the fire
whistle blows.

ing and conference with the vill
