years of gold mining ina Alaska territory

OF Europe.
Bechtol, when he went to Alaska,

Streets and Roads to Have

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
Remarkably Favorable Rates
Secured in Competitive
Bidding.

Washington and the District generally
WI! have a vastly improved lighting sys-
tenn upon the completion OF the plans
for street and suburban road lighting,
which District Electrical Engineer Wal
ter c. Allen now has under way.
Before the first OF the coming year
the head OF the Districts already ex-
tensive lighting system hopes to have
installed 300 additional arc, gas, and
incandescent lights on the streets ard
county roads. TO have supplanted the
S.00O old style gas burners used on the
etty's street lamps with up-to-date man
tel burners. and adopted A square lamp
on street corners in order that street
designations may be plainly seen from
moving cars at night. The completion
OF these plans will not only give the
city proper an improved lighting serv-
ice. but WIFI at once satisfy the long
standing clamor raised by suburban
residents because their sparsely settled
localities have been inadequately light
ed. thus inviting ROBBERY and crime.

states, because the District this year.

Lighting granted this year was $4,000
which Mr.. Allen says, VIII amply cover
The needs OF the improved and extended
Eervice.
Another important proposition now
under consideration by the District Com
missioners In connection with the light
ing system is 0ne to install lights along
the Conduit road. This has been urged
for several years past, In the interests
Of the many road drivers and automO-
bilists who frequent what is considered
one Of the Districts finest roads, but
the road IS under the Jurisdiction OF

District can undertake 70 light il the
