ISLAND STILL DARK
Little Improvement to be Expected
in Electric Situation.

The streets of Staten Island were
dark again last night. Apparently
no attempt vas made by the lighting
company to furnish light, and the
only power generated was that useu
TO operate the trolley cars. That was
poor and uncertain. In residences
electric lights were SO low that the
occupants had to have 10
gas or candles and lamps. Fortun-
ately the night was clear, ana the
noon shone brightly, so maj the
streets were more or less safe.
The trolley service was lntermlt-
tent. At times the cars ran in good
shape, and again they took almost
double the time they usually require
to fill their schedule. The ordinary
running time from St. George to
South Beach is about half an hour.
Last night the heavily loaded cars
were taking from forty-fiye to fifty
five minutes to make the trip.
1t is understood that the electric
company is taking advantage of the
present full 400 to overhaul some
OF the engines and generators at the
