In some cases, it was pointed out, the situation could be helped by the installation of overhanging lights of the same type that now grace the bridge on Ravine drive. Among the spots in town particuâ€" larly vulnerable to lamp vandalism are the bridges on Waverly avenue, South Sheridan road and Dean aveâ€" nue. At the suggestion of Commisâ€" sioner Sharp the Public Service Co, was instructed to investigate the adâ€" visability of converting the lights on the South Sheridan road and Dean avenue bridges to the overâ€" hanging type and as a stirter the counci! votcd permission to the Pubâ€" lic Service Co. to make an immedâ€" iate changeâ€"over of the light on the Waverly avenue bridge. Commisâ€" sioner Swanson, in making the moâ€" tion, also pointed out that the city would save money on its current bill by adopting the overhanging light.

Early Association With Willkie Family Reminiscing over his early childâ€" hood, which was spent in Elwood, "Our early life," said Mr. Perts, was simply one of play, All of us kids had nothing to do during vaâ€" cation time and after school but to play. Shinney, duck the rock, baseâ€" ball and rubber ball polo were our chief amusements, and we all enâ€" tered into this clean, wholesome sport with the greatest enthusiasm. "At that time, Elwood had a popâ€" ulation of about 12,000 due to the fact that natural gas was in abundâ€" ance and many large manfuacturing plants flocked there from the east, to take advantage of the low proâ€" duction costs. There was an old tin plate works, a plate glass plant and numerous other large producâ€" tion plants which helped to boom the town. Saloons thrived, and the town was typically a ‘boom‘ town.
