November 29, 1962
The November meeting of
the Town Council of the Town of Washington, after routine business, was devoted to consideration of a revised street lighting plan as proposed by the Northern Virginia Power Company. The plan was explained by C.R. Suddith, technical sales representative, and Sidney Thompson, local representative for Northern Virginia Power. They prepared individual maps and cost sheets for each council member, showing existing street lights and proposed changes. After thorough perusal and three hours consideration, the council decided to replace the 1000L fixtures with 2500L along U.S. Rte. 211 and at each street corner and entrance to the town. The difference in the light bill will be roughly $13 per month and the change should be completed by January 1st.
