Citizen complaint of the day: Custom House clock not so handy at night

A timeless citizen complains about the clock faces on the Custom House:

Why are the numbers illuminated at night, but not the hands?? It's impossible to tell the time if you can't see the hands... Have lived in Boston 10+ years, no one has ever known the answer to this question...

City officials respond there's nothing they can do about the hands of time because the tower is run by the Marriott hotel chain.
