The Edmonson County News
First Year's Cost Will Be Met by Public Contributions;

$200 Now Pledged

     Due to the unselfish activities of Sam Ferguson, who appears to be about 
the most public spirited citizen of Brownsville, the town now appears to be 
assured of electric street lights.  Ferguson this week has circulated a 
subscription paper to raise funds to pay for the lighting service for one 
year, after which the town trustees agree to continue the service at the 
expense of the entire community.  Already approximately $200 of the $240 which 
it is said will pay the electric bills for one year, has been subscribed and 
it is not thought to be possible that the citizens will let the movement fail 
by falling short the small amount that is now required to put the project 
over.  The success of this venture should tend to encourage the people of the 
town to "keep on keeping on" until we not only have lights but a water works 
system which can be installed at moderate cost and the rentals would more than 
pay the cost of upkeep.
