GRAND FORKS STREET LIGHTS
COST $2,379.43; MINOT'S $7,368.15

The total cost of services and mater
ials for the operating of the arc light
ing system of the city of Grand Forks
during the year was $1,720.73, accord
ing to the annual report of M. Fitz-
gerald, city electrician, which was pre-
sented last Thursday to the city audi
tor.
Of this sum, $119.97 was expended
for construction materials, and $222.76
for operating materials including car
bons, etc. The remainder was paid
out in salaries, pay for the care of a
horse, etc.
The total cost of operating the orna-
mental street lighting system for the
year was $9O6.81. Payments from var
ious sources in this connection, how
ever, amounted to $248.11. leaving the
net cost of the service $658.70.
Mr.. Fitzgerald also reported that
there were 1856 ornamental light clus-
tiers, and 1873 street lighting arcs in
use in the city during the year. Two
new arc lights were installed during
the period. The electrician made 227
inspections of electric wiring in pri-
vately owned buildings during the
year.
In connection with the above, il
might be interesting to Minot people
to know that we paid the Consumers
Power Co. $7368.15 for our street
lights for the year 1914. Minot has
60 ornamental cluster lights compared
to 1856 in Grand Forks. The "Pride OF
the Red" also boasts 1873 arc lights and
Minot hasn't one. Now this amount
does not include the "juice" consumed
which we paid something like $6500.O(
which we paid something like $6500.0(
additional. If we just sit dawn anc
put two and two together it will not be
very difficult to figure out the cause
