Daily Republican., 1889-09-02


The workmen Of the Wilmington Elec-
several weeks erecting poles 10 different |
parts Of the city 70 carry the wires iof !
lighting a number " tbe streets With In
candescent electric lights. II IL the In |
tention II possible 10 have these lights In |
operation BY the first Of October, and as
the work 10 now well under way there is
no doubt but this will be accomplished.
In the contracts awarded the Electric
Light Company II Is Still ulated that all
the gasoline lamps shall be replaced with
twenty-five candle power electric lamps,
and to do this 1t will require 3bl lamps.
They will be suspended from Iron arms,
three feet long and twelve feet above the
ground.
The current used for these lights will
be what Ia known as the alternating, and
will be furnished by Westinghouse
dynamo OF $50 lights capacity. The
Edison current, which ID used on the arc
lights, 10 not sufficiently strong to ran
the lamps at o long circuit, and while
there Is a certain amount OF danger with
the alternating current, every precsution
will be taken to prevent accidents.
The streets which will be lighted or
partially lighted by these lamps are as
! follows: Lancaster avenue from Wood
lawn avenue to Webb street. Second from
