A public meeting,- convened by the Mayor, will beheld in the Town Hall, Lawrence, to morrow (Thursday) evening to discuss the question of lighting the town by electricity. A Committee of the Borough Council have collected information from various sources bearing on the expense and other matters of importance in connection with the proposal, which the meetiDg will be pat in possession of: After that it will be for the meeting to decide whether the necessary steps should be taken for contracting a loan sufficient tocarry out the undertaking. We believe that the information at the disposal of the Committee, as well as the- experience of other places, where the experiment of electric lighting has been tried, is entirely in favor of the proposal. But, of course, that can be best made plain only by full and exhaustive discussion, and it is, therefore, desirable that those who attend ghould be prepared to take an. intelligent part in the proceedings and assist in arriving at a gefimte decision on the matter.
