Tho Los Angeles Electric Company.
Among the many points of interest in
Los Angeles there is none more worthy
Of visit than the station of the Los An
geles Electric company. This company
was incorporated in 1882, and has con-
tributed its full quota toward the city's
remarkable growth. The first station
of the company was modest affair, but
the present station is admitted to be
one OF the finest in the state. It is
located at the corner of Alameda and
Palmetto streets, fronting 130 feet on
the former and having a depth of 300
feet on the latter. The power build
ing is handsome brick structure, and
+, contains machinery OF the very highest
type. There are four horizontal tubular
boilers of 100 horse power each. There
is one AGO horse power Corliss compound
condensing engine, which Strives the
six arc and one 2400 light alternating
incandescent dynamos furnishing COM
mercial lights. There are two 230 horse
power each Corliss condensing engines,
which drive the six 65 light each arc
dynamos furnishing the city street
lights. There is one 230 horse power
Corliss condensing engine which is now
Idle. but which in a few weeks will be
driving new 2400 light alternating in
candescent dynamo which the company
is about to install. The world-renowned
"Brush" system Of arc lighting is used.
The company is preparing to use
either coal or oil for fuel, and the city
xanja water is utilized for condensing
purposes, surface condensers being used.
The circuit equipment of the company
consists of thirty-fve 150-foot masts,
about 2500 poles and about 12O miles of
main wire. The streets are lighted with
the equivalent of $50 2OO0-candle-po
each arc lamps.
The city ia paying $11.50 per 2000-
candle-power lamp per month.
The lighting of the streets has re-
ceived many fiattering notices, and
Haswell's Mechanics and Engineers'
Pocket Book, a recognized authority,
states that "the elevated electric lights
at Los Angeles, CAL, are distinctly. visi-
BILE at sea for distance of 80 miles,"
lg W. b. Cline is president and general
manager of the company.
The Los Angeles Lighting Co.
Have their Office with the above COM
,pany. They furnish the gas for lighting
purposes throughout the city, and a
brighter and more perfect gas light can
not be found in any city of the United
States. The stock of the company OF
(which w. B. Cline is also president ia
considered by capitalists as one of the
safest investments in Southern Califor-
mia. 1t is however rarely to be had,
1inasmuch as its owners are reluctant to
part with it.
