| The Executive COmmlttee VI Uno A
trio Light Commission held another IN
formal meeting yesterday, at the Clty
Hall. at which large amount OF WORK
connected with the plant was done.
There were present with the Commits
sion. in addition to Expert Seeley and
Mr.. Knight, of the Fort Wayne Com
many. Mr.. J. G. Hoover, President
of the Hamilton-Corliss Engine Com
pany, and George II. Helvey, the me-
chanical expert of the Company, VINO Is
here looking after the data necessary to
ensure the proper placing and erection
of the machinery. Mr.. E. L. Babcock,
of the Cayahoga Falls, N. Y, Rivet ana
Machine Company, which will erect the
shafting and clutch pulleys, was also
present. and Architect E. B. Franzheim
also came in, accepted the appointment
of Architect, had a consultation with
Mr.. Seeley and others, looked over
the draft of the building, and later in
the day staked off the building ON the
site selected. Mr.. Franzheim will likely
have his plans and specifications ready
by the last of the week, and they
can probably be accepted Saturday
night, and proposals for the construc-
tion at once advertised for. The house
ought to be under contract in ten days,
or two weeks at farthest. A slight
change was made In the dimensions,
Yesterday, by Mr.. Seeley, but the plans
remain substantially the same as pub
lished in this paper yesterday, the Only
change being provision for an oil house
in the northwest angle, while the boilers
were moved five feet to the east to
make room for the iron stack, ninety
feet high, on the west side of the boiler
house.
Members Of the Commission, with Mr..
Seeley, went over the map OF the city,
yesterday afternoon and located about
thirty new lights, while some OF those
previously located were changed to
more advantageous positions. Most OF
the changes were made on the Island,
which did not get its due proportion OF
lights under the preliminary arrange
ments. Four lights were stricken of
the map, over there, and sixteen added,
a net increase Of twelve. Three of
these were placed in the old Fair
Grounds, which had been neglected, and
two were placed on the street leading to
the new bridge over Back" river.
Several lamps were added in the Sec
ond, Third, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth
wards, and three were located on the
Peninsula road.
This map will be taken to New York
to-day by Mr.. Seeley, where he will re-
arrange the circuits, that being neces-
sary by the substitution OF eighty-light
for fifty-llght dynamos. Under the old
arrangement Of eight fifty-light ma
chimes, there were eight circuits, while
now there will be but five, one OF the
eighty-lighters being held In reserve as
an extra machine. In making this rear
rangement, Mr.. Seeley will change the
trunk lines, running them up alley E or
Jacob street to Byron, and thence to
the hill side, down Eleventh street to
G, thus keeping the wires off the main
streets, and avoiding crossing the creek
with all the trunk lines twice. This
arrangement will be a great improve
ment.
In conversation with REGISTER re-
porter, yesterday, President Hoovey, OF
the Engine Company, said:-
"We will have the engines ready in
sixty days. 1t has been said that we
would require four months time, but it
happens that we can go right to work
on them, and that's what we will do.
There will be no delay in the plant on
our account"
