Cr. Jensen stated, at the meeting of the Horowhenua County Council, on Saturday, that the light at the Te iforo railway crossing was hardly ever burning. chairman (Cr. Monk) stated that the light was on a fixed bracket on a pole, and the vibration of the trains caused thefilament of the lamp to break. It might be necessary to make a swinging light where there was much vibration. He would look into the matter and see what could be done.
