Report Of Light and Water Commission
Report Of the Light and Water Com
mission was received and approved, and
the supplementary report Of said Com
mission was ordered published as fol-
lows {:
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of
Aldermen Of the City Of Greenwood,
Mississippi
Some time ago your honorable body
directed the Water and Light Commits
sion to install certain street lights on
Williamson and Henry streets. At that
time it was the opinion of the Commits.
sion that it would be cheaper to install
incandescent instead Of arc lights Mt the
points designated and the Commission
50 advised you. Since that time it has
become apparent that it will soon be- !
come necessary for the Commission to {
install a new arc light transformer In
place OF the one now in use, because Of
the continued heating of the said trans
former now in use and the charring !
thereof. The Commission therefore !
finds that II will be better and cheaper {
to purchase a new transformer for the :
arc lights Of sufficient size to take care .
OF the additional lights and the lights y
already installed, and that 1t would :
probably be we'll to purchase q sixty-hve :
light transformer In place Of the fifty :
light transformer now In use. II this Is ]
done the additional lights can be in y
on the arc circuit at q great deal .
less cost than an incandescent circuit !
could be put in for. To put In these ad.
iitional street lights as i~ncandesccnt u
would require a now i~ncandescent cir a
cuit independent Of any now in use az =
Il would be necessary to have it 80 ar :
that this circuit could be cut of Q
the day time. The Commission 0
therefore requests authority to pur .
the necessary arc transformer and o
install the additional lights as arc y
lights and that you designate the points
where such lights shall he installed.
