During the last few months malicious and r i-uus damage has been done to the electric lamps in the Ynisoedwyn. Penrhos, Cwmmaonfaen, Cae'rbont and Abercravo districts. The Giant..we Electric Co. desire to make a.n earnest appeal to residents iu these areas to assist them in mainta-iii- ing the public lighting by disoouraginp; ajid condemning the persons who OOn)- mit. soch damago, and where possibk. giving information to the manager of the company (in private). Ten shillings reward will be given for such informa- tion. The Company feel convinced th: tlu- large majority of the inhabitants highly apprecinte thr. great- convcniw.op t and comfort <9f public E;ht.ing. as was j fully proved hy the'general pomphunt.s from all clu.s.vs when the lighting was suppressed for a. time. In the com- mon interest therefore, it is nothing I tiian a wnnd:tl that a- small mwti- lx-r of thoughtless and mischievous youths should causo the public such grievous inconvenience ;lnd discomfort I by delii>erately breiiking the. L-,tmp6 anti aiso to throw upon the Company a c-or- I viderable monetary loss. Tho senseless- I ness of the proceedings is dwpened when it is .realised that not only lias the j-ublic to suffer the loss of the light, but that ultimately the inox- tarv lose has to be paid for by the public. The Company hope this appeal wi;] meet with the co-operation of all well-disposed inhabitants. GL AN 7 A WE EUC11lC SUPPLY ? 4Fl6M?23. CIOIIPANY. 4F16M23. ————————————————
