Board, Decides "Depression,", Measuùre 1s Nol Longer Nec- essry ere Wilmette is toendure no more dark night.s, -for the Village board at, its Tuesday nigbt meeting voted to con- tinue. operation of the street iighting system during ail hours of darkness. The all-night schedule will be put into effect on or about'July 17, and there will be 4.o "cutting out" of Iights. The finiancial condition.of the Vil- lage impelied the previous board to curtail the service in 1932, -the iigbt- ing, system being .maintainied. only un- tii 1 :30 a. m.., except on Saturday nighits, when.servicç ceased at 2 a. m. Owing to improved tax c ollections, and a more favorable current charge by the Public Service company, the board finds that the, iigbts can be burn- ed aIl night at an added cost of about $1,2W0 per year. There bave been, it is said, manyý protests against the, shortened service, and it is believed that the action of the board will meet with general approval.
