STREET LIGHTING.

The street lighting situation is reviewed,
both gas md electric lights being shown to
have been continued last year without con.
tract. owing to circumstances with which
the public is already familiar.
Reference Is made to the recent electric
light controversy. and the Commissioners
say they accepted the Potomac Company's
bid for lighting west of Rock Creek and for
so much of the proposed additional light
ing east of Rock Greek as was contemplated
on streets not provided with cOnduts, and
offered the United States Company a con-
tract for the remainder of the service
The subsequent history Of the contest, in
ciudlng the litigation, is gone over The
conclusion reached is that HE difficulty
and delay encountered in carrying on the
arc lighting service accentuate the neceS-
sity for a comprehensive system of public
subways for electric wires, such as will
admit Of competition for public and private
service.
