STREET LIGHTING

Our neighboring city of Stevens
Point is talking of having her main
streets lighted with ornamental or
five light posts on both sides Of the
street. At meeting of the Business
Mems Association held recently F.
J. Natwick, of the firm of Staub &
Natwick of this city, and who now
have an office in that city, spoke
to them on that SUBJECT as follows:
''Mr. Natwick said that he had been
with the Railroad Rate commission
as inspector of electrical appliances
and had thus been able to become
familiar with the different systems
of street lighting used by Wisconsin
cities. Ornamental street lights
when installed and kept up by private
sources merely as an advertisement
are not successful. The posts are
not of uniform construction flights
are different; spacing is irregular,
etc. At Wausau the business men
purchased the posts and equipment
by private subscription and then
turned them over to the city to main
tain. He advised this course in a
city like this, where the lighting com
pany is owned privately. The lowest
price on medium size five light
ornamental lamp post with fixtures
without any middleman's profit and
exclusive of freight charges, would
be about $50. A post completely in
stalled would cost from $50 to $40
With the five lights burning one of
the Ornamental lights would consume
about three quarters the amount of
current consumed by the ordinary
arc light However, the system is
to have the four lower lights burning
in the early evening and later turn

NEW RAILS ON 500
Main Track Between Here and
MarshfieId to be Replaced.

On May first steel gang of rs
men will be put at work on the 500
line between this city and Marshfield
replacing the so pound steel rails on
the main line with new IS ID. ones.
A complete equipment of boarding
cars will be put in service to take
care of the men.
The line between this city and
Marshfield is one of the heaviest
travelled sections. of the entire Wis
consin Central system, and for this
reason it has been deemed advisable
to put in the new steel. The old
rails will be shipped to the Manitowoc
branch and will be put in to replace
the so and 20 pound rails now in use
there.
AS the replacing of the rails must
be done without interfering with the
running of the trains, it is expected
that it will take at least two months
to complete the work between here
and Marshfield-SteVens Point Jour
nal.

Installing a system the wire should be
put under the pavement, and this
would necessarily add to the cost.

any engineering advice he might be
able to give, free of charge at any
