blazing from every section Of the
city at night is the best policeman
Denver has ever tried. since the
municipal authorities OF Denver set
out to make this "City of Lights"
instances OF law breaking after night

plan to use lights instead of police
men to prevent misdvmeaucD, "a.

cncc Residents in poorly lighted
sections Of the city complained 10
the mayor that additional arc lights
were needed to insure the safety OF
their homes and it was found that
when plenty OF arc lights were sup.
piled in the residence districts often.
ses against the law ceased 20 such
an extent that the number of police.
men could be- greatly decreased Now
the city is lighted by rows OF arc
lights, placed at brief intervals along
its residence streets and throughout
its business district so that It is al
most impossible for law breaker
to ply his calling TO better advantage
after nightfal than in day time.
Recently the city adopted plan
of lighting the alleys in the cit,
which were known to be the haunts
of the rougher element When the
alleys were flooded with lights II was
seen that order was easily kept and
the necessity for policemen vanished
Owing to the vast amount of lights
used Dcnyer's arc lights are furnish.
ed at 500 per year, while cities usiuc
less light of the same population
as Denver, pay on an avcrash O.
$7l per year The additional cx-
penditure for light is more than com
pensated for by the decreased cos. oi
the police department and the expense
of furnishing malefactors who flock
TO poorly lighted cities to carry on
their work in darkness.
An immense bronze Welcome
Arch" has been erected at the Union
depot blazing the word Welcome" to
all who come. This nrc'l cost $4,000
is sixty feet high. weighs seventy
tons and is lighted with 1000 four
candle power lamps. II is intended
as greeting to the thousands OF
strangers who come TO Denver each
day especially in the summer months
when the tourist travel to this state
brings an army of visitors daily.
Especial illumination is planned for
the meeting of the democratic ma.
tional convention which assemblies
here in July. The city will be made
blaze of lights not only as wei
come to the delegates, but as a pro-
lection against law breakers who may
follow the vast crowds to Denver
Because OF this excellent lighting
the city Of Denver is policed by a
smaller force than is required by any
similar city of 100000 people in the
United States. One policeman covers
as much territory on the brilliantly
/ lighted streets as two could take
care of before the light was turned
on the dark places. Exceptionally
/ brilliant lights are used in the public
parks and the grounds of public
! buildings. \ special department OF
