MERRILL EXPLAINS
BOARDS ECONOMY
Tells Why City is in Darkness
from Five till Six O'Clock
Each Day.
NOT AN ECONOMIC POLICY
LACK OF SUFFICIENT CAPACITY
AT LIGHT PLANT MAKES 1T
NECESSARY TO GIVE POWER
TO COMMERCIAL LIGHTING.

The fact that Richmond Is wrapped
in a pail of darkness each night from
sundown to 6 O'Clock, has been sub
ject of universal comment and much
complaint recently and the erroneous
impression has prevailed that the
Board of Public Works from a stand
point of economy has fixed a O'Clock
schedule for turning on the electric
current, regardless of the prevailing
conditions.
President Merrill of the Board of
Works said to the Palladium last
night that the reason for this seem
ing neglect upon the part of the city
was due to circumstances which
would soon be remedied. Between
) and o'clock each evening" said
President Merrill, the very peak of
our electrical load is being carried.
The closing hours of the shops re-
quire light; the business houses
which close at o'clock are using
HuUiDSIS Vi liSuJS DttN6eH
and 6 O'Clock and with the city
plants overcrowded load. it would
render this commercial service bad
TO add on the load require to light
the streets. OF course the Board rec
ogniZes that it is to serve the public
and it means that the electric lights
shall be turned on at the earliest
possible moment, but at the same
time under the circumstances of hot
offered by the opposing
we cannot afford TO give
inferior commercial service. AS soon
as the new electrical machinery is in
which will be within the next
few weeks, our capacity will be SO
greatly increased that there will be
no further difficulty on this score
The street lights will be put into
service at dusk, instead of waiting, as
now, until the load is relieved by the
closing of business houses and fac
tories. We want the friends of the
city light plant to bear with us just
a few weeks and the defect viii be
remedied"
