The council voted 11-1 against the extra lights. "We've sort of resigned ourselves to the fact that nothing's going to happen," Sumner said.You see a lot more garage lights and motion lights burning now out here than you did even a year ago." The city is faced with determining which neighborhoods should receive midblock lighting and whether the entire neighborhood wants the extra lights. "Some people feel that they're in such a good position where they prefer a country atmosphere with a city setting," Brandimore said.

But Clinton and congressional leaders insisted they would press forward with efforts to pass a comprehensive law meant to curb teen smoking and compensate states for treating sick smokers with or without the industry's cooperation.

The window for action in Congress this year appears limited by a short schedule since both houses plan to wrap up by early October to focus on the fall elections. Fiscal 1999 spending bills also must be passed, which could leave little room on the agenda for tobacco. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, already has predicted that the tobacco bill must reach the Senate floor by June 1 or "if going to be pretty hard" to schedule a vote later in the year. The House is further behind in its work, although Bliley said several committees, including his own, soon would begin drafting their version of the tobacco bill. Sen.

"But I feel it's a duty and a responsibility to be proactive and make these improvements." Craig began asking the city for additional lighting last fall.
