Lantern pole for horses?

Dear Editor,

You would remember you published some letters about the lumber yard next door to me and the animal drawn vehicles that park in front of my house and the others in the vicinity. Well the Grove NDC and the Public Health Officer intervened and most of the carts will park away from my home and the lumber yard business goes on without hindrance. Anyway, there are still a few cart operators who feel they can disregard the PHO.
In front of my home is a GPL pole and the recalcitrant cart man will tie his animal on that pole.
Am I to understand that lantern pole was put to facilitate horses?

Yours faithfully,
W.P George
