street Lighting.
At the close of the fiscal year the streets
were being lighted with 327 1,OOO-candle-
power electric lights, decrease of five;
6.246 gas lamps, an increase of 292, and
IiI oil lamps, an increase of AZ. The re-
port OF the superintendent of lamps gives
a detailed account of the operations of this
department for the year
The service has been about the same as
heretofore. The streets of this city are
most difficult to light, owing to the great
number of trees planted on thu curb line
The heavy shade makes the use of largo
electric lights at wide intervals generally
unsuitable. and the high price charged by
the electric company makes 1t impossible
to even extend this system to all the
streets where the trees will permit. The
trees are generally located so near the
curb that the lamp posts have to be set on
practically the same line as the trunks of
the trees, so that even In winter, when the
trees are bare of leaves. the streets look
gloomy at night as compared with the
streets of most large capitals. Some ex-
periments have been made durilg the year
looking to a change in the type of lamp
post and lantern to obyiate this difficulty
as far as possible. but so far without de-
velopNng anything that could be consd-
cred a solution of the problem. In many
cases / AN inclined to think that the best
results would be obtained by locating the
