MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT.
ter and Hears Interesting Papers
Read.


Rochester, N. Y. Oct. 9.-The con-
vention of the American Society for
Municipal Improvement opened to-day
with reports of the committee on cleo
trio street lighting, presented by
Charts H. Rust, city engineer of To-
ronto. Canada.
The report in part of the Committee
on Electric Street Lighting, by Charles
H. Rust, chairman, and city engineer of
Toronto, Canada, was as follows:
I'm the interests of the citizens mu-
inequalities in granting franchises for
street lighting should use great care
in not extending the franchise for too
long a period. and in all large cities
should insist upon the wires being
placed under ground, particularly in
the central districts. The lamp posts
should be of iron and of the most i'm
proved design, and all the work should
be done under the direction and ap-
proVal of an electrician to be appoint
ed by the corporation. Frequent tests
should be made for the purpose of as
certaining if the lamps are giving the
light provided for in the agreement.
ut would be in the interests of the
citizens if all street lighting plants
were OWIleQ ny the municipality, Dut
when the street lighting is carried out
by a private corporation. the city
should receive a percentage of the gross
receipts.
"a large number of cities and towns
in Europe now own electric lighting
plants and we believe that the light
ing of the streets could be done more
efficiently and more economically by
the municipality than by a private cor
poration. providing party politics could
be eliminated from our municipal gov
ernments."
Mr.. Rust gave a table showing the
cost of street lighting in the cities of
the United States
Alexander Dow of Detroit. contrib
uted an interesting paper on the same
subject as that taken by Mr.. Rust
Mr.. Dow said there was no general
reason why a municipality should not
successfully own and operate it's own
public lighting plant.
Nelson P. Lewis of New York, chair
man of the Committee on Street Paw
ing, then read his report.
Emmett j. Steece, city engineer. Bur
lington, Iowa. spoke on the cost of
pavements and roads in small towns.
