THE TOWER LIGHTING QUESTION.
a Correspondent View OF the Matter
AS An Economical Use of Money

To the Editor of THE MORNING TELEGRAM.
If You will permit me the use of your
columns | would like TO make a statement
which will doubtless be Of interest to the
public, who. 10y the arguments of the oppo-
sition lighting company. are led TO believe
that the Common Council in its action last
Monday evening awarding the contract lor
tower lighting, did not know what they we're
doing. and that by their action the city
would be- making an extravagant outlay. and
not ia the interest of economy. do not
intend to argue a. to the tower system being
the best or otherwise. Suffice il 10 say that
the Committee on Lamps of the last three
consecutive Boards OF Aldermen have had
this lighting question referred to them for
investigation and they have IN each instance
recommended the tower system of lighting
IN preference to any other. SO We will leave
that part Of the subject and proceed TO show
20 yo1r readers that thl- system. at the price
proposed. is more economical than gas and
naptha lighting.
Now. we will assume that the city lighting
for the past year has cost $1,000. Now.
from this We will deduct the amount paid
for elecrict lighting. which d $4fHl. leaving
the amount paid for gas and naptha.
ll.tSo Now. u must be- remem bered that
these lights have only been lighted two
thirds Of the year. viz. dark hOur=. aud that
they have only burned from dusk To II
O'Clock each night. which gives us a total Of
l01I hours lighting during the year. or at a
total cost of Sl0n per hour.

Grand Rapids morning telegram., 1885-06-22

To the Editor Of The MORNING TELBGRAM
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June -, lSS5.-I
wish to publicly thank the Mayor for his
action the electric tower question. ] believe
that "A large majority of the citizens of this
city Will agree that we cannot afford any
experiments in lighting the city. We are
pretty well served now in that direction, and
need other improvements much more than
improved lights. An increased water supply
seems imperative. We have also ordered a
new bridge at Sixth street. and new one al
Pearl street has been declared a public
necessity" Therefore / believe that the
average judgment of our people Is that we
should go slow for a while. and leave the
Tower system to wait until we are better
able 10 Judge of Its real merits and to pay
for such Injuries. The people expressed their
views on that subject very emphatically last
Spring, and ought not TO have that project
forced upon them against their will.
Yours truly,
