new LIGHT SYSTEM
Proposed to Beard Of Works
J oo Exps1lsive.

~FMming arc lights for, tie city may
be installed, but 1t il doubffIE Ia
expense OF installing an appsratu1
which would enable the city plant to
furnish electricity for string of the
new lamps ON Main, Ft. Wayne ave-
nue. and North Il street would be about
$4,000.
Edgar Swftzer, representing the
Stave electrical company of 462 Mon
adnock building, Chicago. appeared
before the board Of works this morn
ing and explained the advantages Of
the Stave flaming arc light, which IL
claimed to give twice the amount OF
light at one-third the cost Of the lights
now In use here.
In discussing the street lighting
problem, q few knocks were given the
proposed cluster light system. which
may be placed on Main street. It IL
claimed that Tungsten lights are un-
reliable for outside lighting. and that
they would be impractical in cluster
lights. The underground system Of
wiring for the cluster lights would al
30 be a heavy expense, it 10 said.
Members Of the board of works will
make a visit to the city light plant this
afternoon to prepare plans for the wa
ter softener, which fs to be placed
there as soon rs possible. The appar-
atus will be placed in . small outside
