MILLTOWN MAY OWN ITS LIGHTING PLANT
MILLTOWN, Jan. 16 – The borough council, at its last meeting on Thursday evening, took up the question of borough ownership of the lighting plant. It has been proposed that Milltown follow the example of South River and control its own lighting plant, transitioning from gas lamps to electric lamps.
Sayre & Fisher, who furnish the electricity for South River’s plant, provided figures as to what it would cost Milltown. Before making any definite decisions, it was deemed advisable to conduct a survey of the borough to determine how many residents would install electric lights in their homes if the borough provides them. The cost is estimated to be about half a cent per light.
The idea of having arc lights has been abandoned, and incandescent lamps will be used instead. South River’s experience with arc lights was not satisfactory.
Several bills were paid during the evening. The bill from lawyer George S. Siler for $75 for legal services was deferred to the next meeting. The finance report showed a balance of $2,714.07 in the treasury.
Complaints were raised about the dangerous condition of the trolley rails in front of David Nevins’ home, and it was decided to notify the Traction Company.
