SbBCPRIC LIGHT BULBS
BEING STOLEN
. puring the past few weeks the city
streets in the north end of town have
been more dr less in darkness during
the night hours. The* reason for the
n amis due to the absence
of electric light globes on the various
poles and the reason for this absence
is THEFT. The globes have been de- [
- •
bber&tely stolen. In .some cases old
(Hies have- been substituted for the one I
taken. It is costing the Town of Sew**
apd many unnecessary dollars to-..re- j
place these stolen globes. Recently th%?
globes have been nAarked in a secret
manner sothat the city officials could
trace them and discover who the petty
sneak thief or thl&Yf^ are. The disap
pearance of another light will mean •
a ser%ch warrant will b^. issued,
for the searching of certain houses
where these city lights are believed to
be hidden. The party who will stoop
low enough pr in this particular case,.
high enough to steal a light belong
ing, to the- town in which he lives
should be dealt with to the full extent j
of the law. Theft., at. all times is aj
crime ptmishahlp-hirl£w and iATthil
pait^ular case the guilty party or
parties if discovered should be made
aa example of. A word to the wise is
* sufficient. We feel that the stealing
of City Lights will ceafe with the be
ginning of the New Tear.
