Cities-The Difference Between Chicago
and PiiiiadciPhIa.
PHILADELPHrA, Dec. 6.-The subject of
electric lighting occupied tho entire session
OF the senate Investigating committee yes
terday. Professor William ID. Marks, pres
idcnt of the Edison Electric Light COM
pany, told OF the difficulties the company
has experienced in obtaining privileges
from the city. One Of tho flrst statements
mado by Professor Marks created sonsa.
tion. 1t was to the effect that Philadelphia
should not pay more than thirty cents per
arc light per night for lighting in the old
city limits, each light to burn eleven
hours.
Continuing Professor Marks said the
business of furnishing electric illumina-
tion should be conducted so as to bring n
commercial profit of or per cent. He
would be willing to supply all of it, $500
lights in Philadelphia, at BOO per lamp
annually, IL he could obtain that price, or
even reduce it to 500 per lamp II necessary.
The Edison Electric Light company had
mot bid on the contracts for city lighting
because II was forbidden from SO doing by
q clause inserted in the ordinance Of April,
8, 1895, authorizing the Edison company to
uso the streets Of the city. The first sec
tion Of thst ordinance contained n proyiso
forbidding the use of thc Edison system Of
underground conduits for the transmits
sion Of currouts for electric lighting. The
Edison company finally leased its rights
from tho Penn Electric Light company,
which had the franchise.
Arthur IL. Lea was recalled to the stand
and asked to state tho average cost per
light in the city Of Philadelphia per an
mum, His reply was that each light cost
Si596S. He also said that direct inrorma-
tion from tho department of public safety
showed that there are ,22s electric lights
In tho city. He was then asked the NAMES
OF the directors Of the West End company,
and he said the board was composed Of
Charles A. Porter, Albert Baltz, James
N. O'Brlen and James Scholl.
He also found that the Northern Electric

and found that Chicago charged sos n
