TOTTENVILLE, KREISCHERVILLE,
RICHMOND VALLEY
BOOM IN RICHMOND
+, DUE TO LIGHT COMPANY

In the growth and progress of the
borough OF Richmond a very active
agency in Its development is the
Richmond Light and Railroad Com
panyA with a capitalization of 3d.
100000 behind It for sinews in CO.
operation.
The operations OF the company
extend over the whole of Staten
Island. From Its great power house
at Livingston, 8. J., power is trans
all the way from Rowland
Hook on the north to Tottenville on
the south.
The Richmond Light and Rail
road Company furnishes all the cleo
trio light for Staten Island, owns
and operates directly and indirectly
its trolley lines.
The main trolley line OF the COM
pany runs from St. George to South
Beach, and from st. George to How
land Hook. The branches run from
st. George to Jersey avenue and
Brooks street, from st. George to
Richmond Terrace and Broadway,
West New Brighton by way of Cas-
Teton avenue, and from Port Rich
monds Square to Bulls Head.
The trolley lines cover thirty
miles. The company progressively
keeps D with development on
the island and earnestly steps along
in a cooperative way In utilizing the
opportunities for. home and factory
sites, to which Staten Island is now
attracting attention.
The, officers of the company are
singularly progressive men and pub
tic spirited. 1t is doubtful If a sim
liar corporation anywhere has the
equipment in personality and com
prehensive knowledge OF the posi-
bilittes Of the territory in which It's
activities are located.
The officers of the company are:
President and treasurer, H. H. Rog-
ers; vice president and general
manager, S. F. Hazelrigg, and ]. e.
Phillips, secretary.
The Richmond Light and Railroad
Company was the first to Install tur-
bines In this section. Its overhead
lighting service Is unsurpassed in
this country because of its perfect
Legnlati9n.|s
The company lights the entire
island. Tungsten lamps are in use
everywhere. Below Richmond there
is no gas at all. On account Of the
many trees the operation Of the
lighting service presented many diff
culties which have all been over
come. The company has been grad
ually replacing its wires with those
of greater tensile strength.
The power plant at Livingston is
so equipped that growth on the ISL
and calling for increased service,
either In electric light or power, can
be met without enlargement OF the
plant. which was doubled some
years ago to meet emergency. En-
gines with 1000 kilowats of gener-
ating power are ready to have the
wheels turned any minute.
The service OF the company has
been so efficient that many industri-
al plants have dispensed with their
W power plants and are nov TAX
ing the service from the Richmond
Light and Railroad Company. The
efficiency Of this service means much
in advancing developments on Stat
en- Island. |
The company has increased 500
per cent. in the last seven years In
the light division of its operations.
1t employs 500 men and a always
find a good place for expert linemen.
