to installation OF three additional arc
lights of 450 watts capacity and re-
ferring to a map made by the city
engineer showing redistribution and
location of such lights.
We have had our electrical engl-
neer TO take up the matter and as
certain what equipment is necessary
and the most feasible route to perfect
the change. Mr. f. d. M Strachan,
the president of the company, had d
conversation with the sanitation, light
and water committee and requested
tkat the city engineer and the city
electrician together with the electri-
clan of this company, which was ac-
ceded to on the part Of such commit
tee, take up such route in order to
ascertain ard agree upon the reason
able removal of any distractions in
stretching and operating wires for
such purpose. Owing to the inability
of these gentlemen to meet and enter
upon such investigation such has not
been done The Illness of Mr.. S.rachan
and his absence from the city, who
was giving this matter his immediate
attention, has caused some delay OF
progress in the matter, but has not
entirely suspended same. 1t is the
purpose of this company to comply
with the request of council within a
