New Light Posts Here for Additional Boulevard Lights.

The iron posts for the new boulevard lights around the court house square and also on Van Rensselaer street one block north and one block south from Washington street, have arrived and been distributed along the curb ready to install. This will give us 19 more of these lights when the above number are installed, or 51 in all, and Rensselaer will present a more metropolitan appearance than ever when we get them all in operation. Now if it could only be arranged to extend these lights on east to Division street and west to College hvenue, it would be much finer still, and perhaps this can be done if the property owners will donate for the expense of the posts and cable. The Democrat believes that most of those who own property along this thoroughfare would be glad to have the system extended and would contribute funds for the necessary expense. Let some one take the matter up and see what can be done.
