Citizen V/ants More Light. Mr. Editor: The citizens on the north side cf the public square would like to ask why it is that the arc light in this part of the town has not been lighted now for several month v. This part of the town pays as ranch tax as any other portion, and yet, the bare posts of this light is all that they have as their part of the electric lights, and pedestrians, on the dark of the moon, have to grope their way in darkness and mud—but pay taxes on the light just the same. Our city fathers have forgotten, possibly, that this is a part of their jurisdiction, or they would certainly look after it a little more closely. Citizens.
