The executive committee of the Village Improvement Society met in the Reading Room last Saturday evening to see about a new light for the streets of the village.

Mr Harry Z Mayne is agent for a gasolene lamp and has sold quite a number of the lamps in the village for house lighting About two week [sic] ago he had one of the large 500 candle power lamps in operation near the Presbyterian Church and it gave such a brilliant light that it attracted the attention of the whole town.

Since the exhibition light, Mr. Mayne has offered to put in seven 500 candle power lights and take care of them and do the lighting for one year for a very little in advance of what we are now paying for the old oil lamps.

The committee decided to give the lamps a trial for one year and they will be put up as soon as the frost is out of the ground so that the poles can be set. The lights are to be about twenty-five feet from the ground, and will be placed in such positions as to best light the village. They will be under the supervision of the lighting committee of the Village Improvement Society.
