lamp was made here last Tuesday night
with view of inducing the city to
adopt this improved system of street
lighting. The lamp on exhibition at
the head of Church street, near the
bridge radiated 4 beautiful light. We
have not investigated the principle or
cost of the system sufficiently to say
what would be best for the city, but
would suggest that the authorities make
u thorough investigation and IL practi-
cable TO adopt the system for the city 1t
would be vast improvement over the
antiquated lamps now IN use. We are
free to say, however, that if the cost of
this system is but slightly cheaper than
would be an electric plant we would
