GREAT
improvements In Electric
Lighting System.
Increase In Service Has Been Marked
Some Interesting Figures.

Early next spring Akron will be
| lighted under new system, with in
creased power and greatly extended
service.
The Northern Ohio Electric COM
pany figures that the consolidation
of the Traction power plant and the
present electric plant will take place
the first of next spring, when the al
ternating current lamps will be in
troduced. These lamps will be a
great improvement over the kind
now in use.
The new electrical machinery to
be put in the plant will cost, it is es-
timated approximately. over 100000.
The company and several electrical
manufacturing concerns are now
figuring upon bids for the contract of
putting in the new machinery.
To those who never stop to think OF
the magnitude of the electric light
| ing system of Akron the following
| figures, given by an official OF the
company to reporter for the DEMO
GRAFT, may prove interesting:
There are in use in this city 1900
incandescent and 500 arc lamps. Jan.
l. 1899, the amount of light wire
in use was 600, 600 feet: the number of
| feet reaches now almost ,0OO,000.
New lines are being strung daily,
and a force of 25 men is kept busy
| working on these.
Before the expiration of another
year Akron's electric light service
will be among the best of any city of
| it's size in the country.
