While nol definite official action on the matter has been taken by the city council, sitting as a body, tne establlshement of a "great white way" in Gastonla within the immedi ate future is assured. This Infor mation was obtained this morning from Chairman V. E. Long of the water and light committee, whicn has the matter In charge. The com mittee has unanimously decided to report the project favorably to tne council and it is understood that every member of the council Ts heartily in favor of the movement. It is proposed to establish thts system of brilliant lights over the three business blocks on Main ave nue extending from Y'ork street on the West to Oakland street on the east and from the new Southern pas senger depot on South street to a point south of the city hall and court house and also from the Southern passenger station on Marietta street to Franklin avenue. The poles, which will be erected every 75 feet, will be capped with clusters of five large incandescent lights each. All the light, power and telephone wires on Main avenue will, of course, be placed under ground. The establishment of this system would not only improve greatly the sightliness of the business section of the town by reason of the removal of wires but the brilliant- lights would be one of the finest adver tisements possible for the town.
