TO INDICATE FIRE BOXES.
Red Domes Will Be Used in Subur
ban Lamp Posts.

BY the recommendation Of the District
electrical engineer, w. G.. Allen new
system of marking the location of fire
the city will soon be installed. A red
dome will be placed on the gas lamps on
the same corner on which the fire alarm
boxes are located. SO the boxes may be
easily found at night.
Under the system now followed, the
fire alarm boxes in the city, to which
underground cables are run. are marked
by red lights on the same posts as the
fire alarm boxes. In the suburban sec
tions. however. the boxes are placed or
posts and connected with overhead wires
and it has been found impracticable to
have them marked as are those in the
city.
Recently the Rhode Island Avenue Sub.
urban Citizens Association wrote To the
Commissioners, requesting that the fire
alarm boxes in that section be designated
by red lights Electrical Engineer Aller
took up the matter and has found that Il
is practicable TO place red glass domes or
top OF gas lamps on the same corners a.
the fire alarm boxes. Arrangements have
been made to procure the domes in about
ten days. and they will replace the Opaque
domes now in use.
Wherever red glass dome is seer
on a suburban gas light it will indicate
that a fire alarm box is in the immedia Il
vicinity" Mr.. Allen explains. This
change applies, OF course, only to the
upper part of the lantern; the lower
clear glass globe must remain as it is ii
order not to obstruct the light that i.
needed on the street

PLAN FOR LIGHTING STREETS
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER OF DIS
TRICT SUBMITS SUMMARY.
Gives Details Regarding Improve
ment of Illumination of Residence
and Business Thoroughfares.

Commissioner mcfarland is in receipt
Of several expressions of approval OF
his recommendation to his colleagues
recently that they adopt a comprehensive
plan for the Improvement Of the street
| lighting Of the city. beginning with the
principal business and residence thorough
| fares
| In response to requests summary OF
the detailed plans prepared by the Dis
trict's electrical engineer. W. c. Allen, has
been prepared. as follows:
Pennsylvania Avenue.
pennsylvania avenue, from LIST to 10th
streets northwest now lighted by sixty
eight arc lamps burning all night.
| plan No. / contemplates the erection
Of fifty arc lamps on aisles of safety
said lamps to burn the first half of the
night. supplemented by about thirty OF
| the present type Of arc lamps at the curl
| lines. TO burn all night; thirty-eieht OF
! the present arc lamps at street corners
| to burn the latter half of the night, after
the lamps on the isles are turned off
plan No. . contemplates the use OF
the present type of arc lamps instead
| of the higher-priced fame arc lamps. but
value it is proposed to put two such
| lamps on one post. instead of one flame
lamp; otherwise. this plan is the same
as No. !.
"Plan No 3 is suggested only In case
the erection Of posts on isles of safety
is not approved 1t contemplates adding
about eighty arc lamps of the present type
j to the number now in use. with re-
/ location OF the present posts to get as
uniform a distribution of the light as
| possible. The greater portion of the adj
| ditional lamps will burn only during the
| first half of the night.
| Seventh and F Streets
Seventh street from Pennsylvania ave
nue. to New York avenue northwest, ado
IS arc lamps to the 20 now in use. max,
| ing IS in all. One-half of the lamps te
burn all night. the other half only unit
midnight. The lamps to be placed or
both sides of the street instead of or
| only one side. as at present.
| IF street from 18th to 18th streets
| northwest, and 18th street from Penn
sylvania avenue to New York avenue
| northwest, add As lamps to the existing
| %. making rs in all. OF these about one
| only until midnight. The lamps to be put
on both sides OF F street, but only on the
east side OF 18th street (none on the
| Treasury building side)
Other Thoroughfares-
Massachusetts avenue from 9th street
/ to 2Sd street northwest-now lighted by
81 mantle gas lamps-add sS lamps to the
i existing number OF mantle gas lamps.
Sixteenth street from Il street to CO.
lumbia road-now lighted by 50 gas lamps
add 30 lamps to the existing number OF
gas lamps. 1t is suggested if the expert
| ment now being made of tungsten cleo
| trio incandescent lamps for street light
| ing proves successful that such lamps be
| used on 18th street.
Both Massachusetts avenue and 18th
street require large number of small
units placed close together on account OF
| the heavy foliage. Large units. such as
arc lamps. could not be used to advantage
without considerable cost"
