ARCHED STRINGS OF LAMPS
FOR PRINCIPAL STREETS.
System of illumination Considered
More Effective Than Present Method.

After considering a number of new
plans of standard construction Of a
permanent form Of illumination there
has been prepared and tried satisfac-
torily by several places plan of in
stallation of arched strings of lamps
on the principal streets. The sketch
shows the plan well.
The object sought is to increase ef-
ficiency Of the lighting, preserve the
harmonious effect, the gala appear
ance and reduce the lamp maintenance
cost; also the consumption Of current.
An important item Of the old scheme
of lighting, even if it be necessary to
continue it for years, is that it con-
sumes an extraordinary amount Of cur
rent for the effect it gives.
One Of the troubles of the present
system is that the swaying and whip
ping Of the loosely swung festoon
strings cause a large expense for
lamp renewals Investigation discloses
that curb light post will cost about
$50 or 500 per post to install and light
up. The largest item in the cost OF

ARoHED STRING OF LIGHTS.

installing a curb post is due to chisel-
ing through concrete curbs and con-
crete street paving to lay conduits for
underground wires. Curb post lights
would be interfered with to certain
extent by rows Of telegraph poles.
Each one of the arches is equipped
with ten thirty two candle power series
tungsten incandescent lamps, giving a
total of 800 candle power per arch as
against 200 candle power in one Of the
present streamers. Each one Of these
lamps will be equipped with special
ornamental reflector to give even flu
mination over large area and reflect
all of the light which otherwise would
be lost.
These refectors are especially de-
