<br />
<br />wish to humbly bring our outside lighting pro-
<br />to aid us. In the month of January 1979, two
<br />while being in services.
<br />
<br /> We realize that much in these day and times, happen in open day light, but we believe,
<br />and pray that you too will believe that good lighting will help to prevent a great part of
<br />this stealing.
<br />
<br /> Herewith, please note the diagr~m, showing our church location and ark spots. Also,
<br />there are existing polls without lights. On which, we believe if there were lights on these
<br />polls, our problem would show great decrease. This lighting would also be protection against
<br />those that might hide in the shadows to rob and do bodily harm. Please consider doing this
<br />for us, as to the diagram. We would be most grateful. We thank you for hearing our request.
