Found New Company Had 173 Lamps
Burning.
Lights Were Very Bril-
liant However.
Water Will Not BE Shut Off on
Presumpscot Today.

According to the official count OF two
mem bers of the committee on lights
mad last night the Portland Electric
Light company had burning 173 arc and
incaudesoent lampf. Manager George ".
Brown Is reported to have said that he
would have at least 25u lamps burning
last night, but II the light committee
members are right In their count Mr..
Brown was misinformed in regard 10 the
amount of work which as been done by
his crew during the last few days. The
light COMMITTEES took great pains TO ascer-
tain just how many lights we're burning.
Two of them took a carriage at $50
O'Clock ana drove through every street In
the city. Their lab,rs ended at $40
o'clock. They say that the new lights
which the Portland Eleotrio Light oom-
pany is installing up town are very bril-.
liam: and much more powerful than the
old sty lie lamps. These Committee men,
bers found several arc and incandescent
lamps which were not burning and they
believed Rad not been connected.
:, The new company will have about one
hundred more arcs to put up and about
one hundred inoandesoent lamps before
the contract Is completed.
1t Is stated on good authority that the
Presumpscot Power company will not
shut OF the water from the Portland
Electrio Light company this afternoon as
was done last Saturday night. The ques-
tion as to whrther they have the right to
do this remains to be s,ttlsd yet, but the
new company will have all the water 1t
needs Satr rday night. The directors Of
the Presumpsoot Power company ara to
have meeting ON Deceiubsr 2st when
they will decide just what they will do In
the future.
