The dynamo works al- right until the full number of street lights are in operation and then, al- though the dynamo is not then being run at half it's full capacity, the ma chine balks and the box or bearings heat and cause the trouble. Later, at about o'clock last evening Engineer Pierce telephoned from the power house to J. F. Stevenson that he had discov- cred where the trouble was. He said that he had found that 1t was in an adjustment and had fixed it, and that mo more trouble was anticipated and that all the street lights would be run ming without further stoppage.
