Justice, Ronald Fish brought up the subject of the street lighting on Route 11, between the Cortland City line and the Village of Homer line. He advised the Board that some action should be taken on this as Niagara Mohawk would no longer supply service to these lights after December 31,_1974. The matter was tabled until the next meeting of the Town Board. Claim voucher #430, submitted by Mildred Brookins, Secretary of the Town Planning Board was brought up for discussion, as there were no receipted bills attached to the voucher.
