City Secretary, Ft. Worth, Texas.
Dear Sir:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 26th advising that at the direction of the City Counsil, you are instructed to ask that the Texas & Pacific Railway Company erect and maintain an electric light at Main Street; my remembrance is that there is one light on Main Street crossing furnished by the city. It would seem to me that the Railway Company and Street Car Company could afford to join and put up a similar light on the opposite side. This, I think, would furnish sufficient light at this point. Will take the matter up with the Street Car Company the first opportunity. In any event, we will arrange to comply with your request.
Yours very truly,
L. S. Thorne
