on Second street, al the location be-
fore mentioned. Two OF these posts
can b supplied at the same cost as
one all night light burning at the in
tersoction OF the streets.
In order 20 have the lighting sys-
tern OF the town consistent We would
suggest that at the expiration OF the
ornamental lighting contracts nj pres
ent In force that tho city assume the
same and II they will do so we viii
rewire these systems and operate the
three lamps on the ornamental light
ing posts on Central venue and First
street from dusk until midnight and
the top lamp on each post from mid
night until dawn. This will relieve
the city of the necessity Of operating
the arc lamps at the Intersections OF
the streets now covered by the or
namentai lighting systems. Also up
on the expiration OF the Second street
lighting contract we will change this
system OF lighting so that II will con
form with the plans Of the ornamental
lighting on Central avenue and First
street. The plan for the lighting OF
Second street will be to substitute
four tungsten lamps, enclosed In i2-
inch opal glass globes. on an orna-
mental iron bracket mounted on the
pole. These lights will be furnished
on all the poles on Second street with
the exception OF the four ca poles on
the corner OF Second street and Cen
trail avenue. iuasmuch as u these
brackets were applied to these poles
there would be an Interference OF the
two lighting systems on Second street
and Central avenue.
Again referring 10 The single light
ornamental post which may be dis
tributed along the block. we are also
enclosing another sketch showing the
distribution OF these lights which we
believe would give the most ecOnomi-
cal distribution OF light. Referrine
TO this sketch. one ornamental single
light post IL located on the corner, as
shown In block "a and the lights are
spaced 900 feet distance from this
post on each side OF the street both
ways from this cornell and on the
corner %diagonaiiy opposite the SAME
spacing IL carried out. This gives a
total OF six posts for every city block
and the corner post iightinG the
streets each way from the corner II
this same system Ii carried "a IN
each block II will result In spacing
the posts 100 feet apart on opposite
sides OF the street. The distribution
Of light would be about as shown In
the block Iettered &C. on this sketch
the semicirclea showing the distriou'
ton OF light from each one OF this
various standards. In this way th'
three posts w actually paid for pei
running block OF street although the
effect is the same as II four post
were placed In each block inasmuci
as the corner post Is Of service OF
each one OF the intersecting streets
For your information we would stat,
that the poles In the block on secont
street between Iron and Stover arr
arranged In accordance with this plan
