I STREET LIGHTS AGAIN.
fhe petition to be presented to the city commissioners
asking for an improvement district -to provide modem
street lighting in the business distiict of La Giande is
one ithat will receive the caretul consideration of our "city
dadj." There is no doubt about La Grande needing tins
improvement jHijd it .has been delayed a sufficient time to
permit presentation of all angles, of the pioblem. Nothing
willfadd so mifcii' 'tlif the appearance of" tiie'ci'ly geneiSiuy
and any improvement of that nature at once enhances the
value., of pioperty and makes various locations more de
. sirabje. . Light, attracts and darkness repcis. Invariably
a cjty that is well lighted and therefore attractive in
appearance enjoys a gi eater patronage and draws fiom a
larger tenilory. It is an impiovcnient that will be wexomcd
by title cntiie city, care being necessary only in seeing that
the ftin fixtures companies anxious for our business do not
'over-sell" the city. The Observer has commented on this
angle jiorovc,. anil thouh we arc anxious to see the im
piovnitiit made, we are equally anxious that sensible
ccoiwmy govern the planning for new lighting units. There
is ai-happy medium between gloom and expensive brilliancy
aitd that medium we are confident will be the goal of
the jily in this instance of progress.
