IMPROVED STREET LIGHTING During the past week the Flesher- ton Hydro Commission have changed the bulbs on the main street from 100 watts to 200 watts, which makes a considerable difference to the bright- ness of the main stem at night. Each year the Commission has had return, ed a certain sum for the unexpended balance from street lighting and this has been left in the general fund up to the present. The flood light on the main corner makes the street as bright as day, but some of the busin ess streets leading from the corner are insufficiently lighted. Five more lights on these streets would change appearance for the other business places and light up the street the way it should he. Good lighting on business streets is a great asset to any town or village. BORN STAIN'ES - - At Niagara-on the- Lake Hospital, on Saturday.
