WHEN LIGHTS ARE POOR
From Thursday's Dallv
The stormy condition this morn
ing at an early hour was greatly ag
grevated from 6:30 to 7 o'clock hy
the fact that the street lights on
Main street were out. the street iiark
as the inner tomb of an Egyptian
king and the sidewalks with their
slippery condition made travel
cult for those who are by the
of circumstauces called forth
diffi
force from
their homes at this early hour.
As for practical usefulness under
the present system, the street lights
might as well be extinguished at
midnight, as the few who are on the
street after that hour are not to be
compared with the number that have
to plod their way along in the dark
anil storm after ti o'clock in the
morning.
