nnM Street LIGHTS
SOON TO Be READY


The city Of Tucumcari will soon be
sne Of the best lighted small cities any.
where The electric light company has
been busiiy engaged putting In new
poles, wires and other necessary appl.
anccs to install the new Series Tungsten
System recently contracted for by the
city council.
After q series OF meetings and the
Submitting Of several propositions, the
electric light company finally took the
matter upon itself 20 put up the money
TO buy the new material and install the
new lighting system.
The city council offered to contract
with the company for n ten years ser.
vice IL the company would put in the
lines and furnish everything The city
dads are 20 pay sl05.0o a month for
all the street lights or 500 more than
they have already been paying, while
the company is to put In the system
and keep IL in Hrst-class condition.
Mr.. Richie, the local manager, said
the cost TO his company would be about
s1soo.Oo, which would be 100000 less
than tho city could have put in an in.
dependent line, on account Of being in
q position 90 use a number Of poles al.
ready in service.
An extra force Of men has been put
TO work and II is expected that the
lights will be in place and ready for
use on June /. There will be thirty
new powerful lights distributed through
the main residence portion and placed
TO the best advantages possible to oh.
tain the best results.
The city council has worked hard to
md some way to secure lights in the
residence portion, but on account of a
limited surplus capital, IL has been i'm
possible ia accept the contract as of.
feed by the light company, but some
time ago the council made the COM
pany the best offer within their power
and the company finally accepted.
The electric company, under the new
management, has always seemed to take
considerable interest in the welfare Of
Tucumcari and our citizens should ap.
preciate both the work Of the council
and that Of the company for making IL
possible for Tucumcari 10 obtain 40
many street lights under a contract 80
