agent writes to the Standard correct
ing an error, as follows: ''Your article
gives a total cost Of operation of 81, ri
per year, which we regard as correct
But you should remember that in ad
dition to the street lighting the ma
chinesproposed for $1,000 will alst
give 800 lights besides. If these arr
sold at 40 cents month the revenu.
would be $3.50 a year, of which al

ing, 81, 227, and leave 1898 additional

with street lighting for nothing" Thu

ly reduce the cost of lighting but &C
r tually prove source of revenue to tn
city.
