THE WESTON ELECTRIC LIGHT.
MOlineiteS Should Peruse the Follow
ing Before Adopting the
System.

The citizens of Moline have resolved to
use the Weston Ele ctric Light in their
city in preference to all other systems.
As the light has never been tested in this
section, we cannot pass an opinion in
regard to it, but the following from the
Cleveland Plain Dealer does not speak
very favorably of it:
Ever since the Inauguration of the
Brooklyn bridge, the United States Elec
trio Light company of New York has been
unsuccessful in satisfactorily Illuminating
the structure by means of Weston Electric
Lights. From the outset of the expert
ment the lights have been i'll the habit of
going out, and of Pickering so badly as to
cause the trustees to threaten to abandon
them altogether and to make arrange
ments with some other company. AT a
late meeting of the bridge trustees MIR.
Martin, a prominent member, said that
the electric lights were not giving salts
faction, that the lamps would not always
light up when the circuit was turned or
and that sometimes they would not star
up until the inspector started Them Thit
has been explained to mean punching W
the carbons with q stick, several mer
being employed on the bridge expressly
for this purpose. Mr.. Martin stated
further that already ten lamps had beer
rendered useless by the magnets giving
out; sometimes the positive would no
work and sometimes the negative Eli
was not in favor of accepting the lamp'
under the present conditions.
The Weston lights were originally pu
up for lighting the bridge because thu
United States company were willing tC
furnish them for less figure than tina
given by the Brush Electric Illuminating
company of New York, and this failur
in lighting has been the result. 1t is es
timated that the Weston people have eX-
pended already in experimenting with tn
lights much more money than they vii
obtain from the bridge trustees, even i
the trustees should accept the lights a
once, which will not be the case.
