Hon. Board of Street and Water Conn
miSsioners:-
.Gentlemen-Your Committee on NUM-
clpal Lighting respectfully report that in
accordance with awards of contract here
tofore made for lighting the city for the
year 1895 and according to the terms
and furnished to the successful bidders,
to whom awards of contract were made,
lists of the locations of the lights in
the various districts described as Dis
tricts o, N, NJ and L of Plan C OF light
ing.
IN locating the lights in District N, In
which the minimum bid upon and on
which the award of contract was made.
was 100 lights, your committee found
that. by the system adopted of locating
the lights, almost a sufficient number of
the lights awarded were left over In
that district to light the. adjoining dis
frlrf knnUn 1c IA nrhfa1n r~c 9 a -na }
district.
Your committee arranged with the
limited Gas Improvement Company, to
whom had been awarded the contract for
lighting fifty gas lamps in District La, to
waive their rights to the award for that
district. it being conceded on the part OF
the city that said company would be
allowed fifty additional lights in districts
known as PA, "a and "A. Districts known
as Districts n and la are now conn
pletely lighted with electric arc lamps.
and the work is being pushed ahead very
rapidly in Districts Q and L.
The city is receiving the advantage
gratuitously. being lit in those districts
by the Electric Light Company and with
no responsibility in the matter of pay
ment for those lights until the whole
electric light system is completed ac-
cording to awards of contracts made last
December by your Board.
1t has been deemed wise by your conn
mittee. to continue the lighting of the
city in those districts referred to under
the old system also.
Your committee asks hat your Honor
able Board ratify and confirm its action
in the matter of extending the electric
light system into District Ia.
