Highway Illumination Is Being Installed.
Work to Be Prosecuted Until Schedule is Completed—86 Now Ready
—Pole Lines Completed—Spring'
Mill Residents Petition Whitemarsh
for Lights.
Highway illumination in Plymouth
township is an established fact and
already the lines of the Counties Gas
and Electric company are lighting
some of the highways, with general
plans of construction, as outlined by
ttae township commissioners, as will
cover the other main highways, with
the present exception of roads forming divisions with tther townships in
this latter case the general plan of
tllumlnation await° the cooperation of
the neighboring townships.
Superintendent Gunser. of the electric- company, met the P>y,mou3;i
commissioners on Monday at tht
hitters meeting in Grange hall, Plymouth Centre, and the lighting situation was very thoroughly considered:
Some of the highways are lighted at
present and show a very much appreciated illumination. In a very
tew cases lamps are to be moved to
other poles or reflectors or cross arms
changed  to secure more direct  light-
lil^jT*
86 lamfls are already Installed, anJ
one more is to be added on Ross avenue, Mogeetown, 9 are to be added
on Conshohocken road, 9 on Chemical
road, 2 oitJN'qBth lane, 10 on Broad
Axe road, II on Creamery road, 9 on
Ridge pike and 2 on Flourtown road.
Longer ' arms are to be placed-' on the
lamps at Dugan'a corner and also" on
the lamp at Germantown and Chemi-
eail roads, and -*2 lamps will be placed
on White avenue.
Inasmuch as the Spring Mill taxi
payers of Whitemarsh township are
petitioning .the Whitenutr, £1! ■ super- j
visors for lights in that section, it is
believed that the Plymouth Meeting
tax payers will be next iri line to ask
Whitemarsh to install lights, which
will afford an opportunity for Plymouth and Whitemarsh townships to
light Conshohocken  and Butler pikes.
The board agreed to accept a
general bond in the sum of $2500 from
the Counties Gas and Electric com-j
pany  operative  until  Dec.   31,   1923.
