OPINIONS ABOUT
STREET LIGHTS
WHAT CITIZENS THINK ON SUBJECT
Sentiment In ravorof More Lights If
City Is In Fmaui iulCniulltlon
to ray fur Them.
In order to aaoertaiu the HetitiinoiH
of Hood litver buaiuesa men iu regard
to having the city make some provis
ions for a more adequate system of
lighting the streets the GUoier tins iu
treviewed a n timber of them ou the
subject. It was not possible to ob
tain the views ou this important ques
tion of all inteiested and some ol
those seeu did uot eare to make auy
statemeut iu regard to it, hut the ma
jority seem to be iu favoi of having
more street lights. Some do uot how
ever, think the city is iu a position
financially to make a contract to that
effect and state t tint if there is auy
surplus iu the city treasury it might
be better to use it iu defraying the
current expenses of the city or iu im
proving the streets. On the othei
baud there are those who thiuk that
the proper lighting of the streets is
an absolute necessity uud should be
done iu auy cveut, eveu if it should
be necessary to levy a s pedal tax foi
that purpose.
Fioin the following may be gleaned
au idea of what those who were asked
about the questiou think:
' J. H, Heill'ronuer St Co. We are iu
favor of more lights most emphatical
ly aud also improvements iu any other
directiou. Hood Kiver is adveitised
at home aud abroad as the most pro
gressive town in Oicgou uud it ought
I o live up to its reputation. Let ut
have more lights aud butter streoU
also.
(Jims. N. Clarke 1 thiuk if thero is
auy money to lie spent on improve
tuents iu llood Kiver the best place il
can be put is on the streets. 1 am
ptrieotiy willing lu admit that more
ligbU could bu used about the city to
auvuutagu, but ill.o;it a fixed income
1 do uot sue li iw the city cau see its
way clear to paying for them and as
this is uot very niiiuh of an owl town
I thiuk we can do very nicely as it it
tor the present.
1. I). 1 weedy If the city bus the
money to pay for a more extensive
lighting service 1 am in favor of it
provided the taxpayers up on the lull
receive some benefit from it. Coun
cil has not beeu overzealona iu behalf
of this end of town, but if they have
the funds a fow lights distributed
properly up here would be most ac
ceptable.
liutlor Dunking Co. lou can say
that we are heartily in lavor of more
lights if the revenue of the city will
permit. It Is certatully very appar
ent to the least observing that the
treets should be hotter lighted than
they uow are aud if the city is iu a
positiou to do so it should be done.
f rank A. uram isy an means lei
us have more lights, liood Kiver has
the repututiou of being alive aud up-to-date,
bti angers coming iu here at
uight thiuk they are at some cross
roads. Now that the winter is com
iug with its dark nights, the streets
are uo" only (lava, out uusare anu
should be lighted, liesides it is an
added protection to business men to
have toe city well llgntei and a lew
more dollars spent on lights will nev
er be missed.
Vogt tiros. More lights? Why I
dou't kuow how that is. 'I his isu't
the headquarters of the city govern
ment. Are we In tavor ol more street
lights? Yes, we are if the city thinks
it cau altord to pay tor them. A well
lighted towu is a good Jiuvostment foi
auy community.
I'j. O. rilunclier, of the 1'lrst Nation
al il.tuk You ch ti state for me that 1
would most earnestly indorse a move
ment for a better lighting of the city
if its llnucial condition was stitih that
it could alf ord to do it. 1 kuow, how
ever, tout It is uot. ine piopositlon
of the Electtio Light & uud Power
oompany 1 consider a most favorable
oue. but it would not lie possible for
the city to extend ttio mo lighting
system without going into debt and
to that I am strongly opposed. The
funds now avallble iu the city trms
ury will not muoh more thuu provide
for its current expeuse auu it Is an
absolute necessity that some of it be
spent ou the streets as soon as the
weather will permit. They are not
only in a bad condition, but unsafe
and 1 think aomehiug should be done
to render them lit for tiavel.
A. L. Carmiohael Y'ea we need
lights up here very badly. At oue
time the merchants ou the hill con
sidered a proposition to have an arc
light placed n the center of the busi
ness district here, but abandoned it
heoause it was considrced too expen
sive. Four or five incandescent lights
placed at iutorvuhs along this street
would help out wonderfully.
J. II. (Jill X hero is scarcely a place
in the city that ueods lights worse
than the streets lending up on the hill
Some :i- cauillo power lights placed
along them would he of greut benefit
uot only to residents on the hill but
to those living out iu the valley who
are forced to drive over them at
night.
HtrananhHU Ac liagley liefore any
more money is spent for lights 1 think
it you will consult the wishes of the
citizens of this town you will find
that tbey would much prefer having
anv surplus money In tlio city treas
urv expended on the street. The
lights are all right, but what abou
the streets.
George T. Pratber I am not
fuvor of spending any more money for
street lights. The city is paying for
all it can alf ord to now for lights
aud I am uot in favor of the city go
iug in debt for them. The taxpayers
can't stand it. Tbey have been taxed
too heavily already. Lots of them
couldn't" puy their sewer assessment,
No sir, 1 am not iu favor of any more
lights.
Judge Henderson Am I in favor of
having the city better lighted? I am
most assuredly. There is nothin
that is more important to a city thau
I having its streets propel ly lighted.
it a protection against burglniy, fires
and insures those who are out
oitrht at least a partial protection
against broken limbs and possibly
l loan of life. 1 think the town should
be well lighted also as au Indication
of its progressiveuesa uud if it can
uot be done iu auy other way some
pecial provision should be made to
do it..
L. N. lilowers My views on this
question are that If there is any mou-
ey to be spent ou Improvements it
should be put on the streets 1 am
not against public improvements of
any kiud and consider the lightning
questiou au important oue, but seo-
oudaiy to the oue I nave already
spoken of. While we can get along
very well with the preseut lighting
service for a time something must be
oue to put the streets in better con
dition.
Chas. II. Hall I couslder .the
street lights most important. It up-
ears to me that it overshadows auy
other improvement at preseut aud
that a few more lights pioperly dis
tributed about the city would prove
in oft beuellcial.
Dr. Puuible 1 am in favor of more
lights it the city oau afford it, if uot
am iu favor of goiug without them,
believe that muuloipal affairs should
be administered the same as private
ouea. What you oau't altord go with
out. K. McDonald I do uot thiuk the
ity ueods any more lights at preseut.
am uot opposed to au extension of
the oity lighting system when the
time comes. Hut that time bus uot
arrived as yet. 1 do not believe it
would be judicious for the authorities
of the city to enter into auy long
time lighting oontruot, at preseut, as
there are a uumber of other things
that will have to be takeu care of, 1
lo not think the towu should aspire
lo things it cau uot see Its way clear
