The Washington Town Council has decided to purchase street light fixtures directly from Pemco.
Charles Eldred has been the town’s contact with Pemco regarding the lights and brought the information to last week’s meeting. Each of the 57 light fixtures will cost $199.60, for a total of $11,377.20. The town will own 50 of the fixtures, for a total of $9,980, and the county will own seven of them, for a total of $1,397.20.
Potomac Edison owns the poles, but some new ones are needed, at a cost of $2,217. Taking into account a credit of $2,576.50 from Potomac Edison for standard fixtures which will not be used, thenown will end up with a credit from Potomac Edison of $ 1,359.50.
The power company quoted a price of $8.25 a month per fixture for a maintenance contract, but town attorney Frank Reynolds said that cohtracts like that are usually negotiated.
On another subject, council member Charlie Tompkins, who was a member of the town's Colonial Christmas committee, said that the people on the committee feel that the local people don’t give enough support to the activity. He said the committee recommends that Colonial Christmas not be continued, at least in the form that it has been. He did note, however, that December, 1996, is the town’s 200th anniversary. Also, RAAC plans to once again be involved with the July 4th activities in the town.
