How the Town Was Lighted in 1910.


In 1910 the population of Portland was
1859. The settlement extended from the
foot of Munjoy's Hill to State street, mostly
south of Back (Congress) street, with few
scattered houses in other parts of the t. wn.
Previous to this year the town was not
lighted ut night, but at a meeting of the in
habitants held at the court house November
5, 1910, it was voted ''to see if the town will
make provision for lighting up and keeping
in repair as many lamps, to be set in the
principal streets of the town, as individuals
will furnish at their own expense for the use
of the town"
This vote was referred to the fra wards, a
body of twenty men, selected from various
districts. for action. They appointed a sub
committee of five 'to call On individuals and
ascertain the number OF lamps they will give
and put up in proper places in the town for
the use of the same, also say where and in
what streets it will be proper to have said
lamps placed"
On the 9th of November this committee
reported ..'that they. had obtained subscrib-
ers for thirty three lamps fir, e of expense to
the town, and are fully convinced that the
number would have been forty if they had
hada longer time to attend to the service"
The committee further recommended that
the lamps should be placed as follows
Three for Back now Congr ess) street, thir-
teen for Middle and Maine Congress west
from Middle) street. eight on Fore street,
three on Pleasant street, one on Spring
street, three on Free street, and two on Dan
forth street.
The estimated cost of maintaining these
lamps was as follows: The committee being
of the opinion that it will not be necessary
to light them more than one hundred nights
in a year:
1877 gallons Of oil at 81. 20 gallon. $685. 5
Expense OF lighting ...................... 10000
Expense of wcks. observation-disclosures. 800
$336.75
This report .sas accepted by the town and
the fire wards were appointed a committee to
carry it into effect. G. c. B.
