l T LIGHTING
Great White Way a Financial Invest
mcnt For City

Washington, Lee. IA we'll
dressed city like a we'll dressed man,
commands attention and respect" de-
clared c. l.. Eshclman of Cleveland,
o.. today in an address before the
American Civic association.
MIR. Eshelman was speaking of the
benefits of modern street lighting in
American cities. and he declared that
a Bright White Way" in any city was
the forerunner of business %prosperi-
ty. Civic price and civic competition,
he said, were largely responsible for
the increase i'll ornamental lighting
systems in the cities.
We'll lighted streets, said Mir. Eshel-
man, not only have an advertising
and progressive spirit, but a benefit
in dollars and cents could be traced to
them directly.
MI. Eshelman cited instances where
a city block, apparently dead, was re-
vived to a live business throughfare Of
heavy traffic when private enterprise
provided the illumination.
Modern lighting on city streets, MI.
Eshelman said was sure to encharce
the value of property. because the
value OF business property was fixed
only by the amount and kind OF traffic
which passes it. He explained the
common condition Of one side of a
street being deserted and another side
busy. as being due to the superior H.
luminations on the busy side.
practically any street directly
tributary to a business thoroughfare
can be fully doubled In value by in
stallation of spectacular lighting"
said he. Lighting the entire business
section Of IL city increases values by
increasing traffic, not only from the
city itself but from the surrounding
country and towns. Good light in
creases the value OF residential streets.
Good street lighting more than any
other thing gives to a city an air of
progressiveness and prosperity"
MIR. Eshelman condemned the sys-
tenn of not lighting city streets after
midnight or on nights when there is q
moon as a fallacy. He described
many systems " ornamental lighting
which are now in use in indianapolis.
Pueblo and other cities with success.
