Dear Norm
Enclosed is a petition signed by property owners
and storekeepers who are located on Columbia Street
requesting that the City investigate the possibility
of having more powerful lighting on Columbia Street.
About a year ago, 00 Halloween Eve to be exact,
two young men who apparently were intoxicatedsmashed
the plate glass window in the Charles E. Locke Company
at 42 Columbia Street. This Cost Henry Sutcliffe Cee
the sum of $175.00. About two weeks ago someone broke
a pane of glass in our Cross Street entrance and threw
• mail box through the window of Armes, Inc. at 46-48
Columbia Street. The cost of this will be much more
than $175.00. About a week after this last episode,
someone broke a pane of glass in the door of the entrance
to the Knit Nook operated by Fred A. Tuck at 72 Columbia
Street. This again will cost Mr. Coe a considerable
amount.
We realize that vandalism is not an easy thing to
control, but we, as property owners and storekeepers on
Columbia Street, are most perturbed at the apparent
increase in this type of crime. We would welcome suggestions
from the Safety Committee, the police and anyone else as
to what can be done to prevent vandalism. Chief Small
informed me that he believes that in the majority of cases
where there is powerful lighting there is a decrease in
the acts of vandalism.
We urge your Committee, and the proper officials to
give full consideration to increasing the power of the
lighting on Columbia Street and/or installing more lights.
Your cooperation in this matter has been a pleasure
and we await with eagerness the decision of the Committee,
since, as you are well aware, Halloween Eve will be with us
very soon and this seems to be the time when many acts of
