LIGHT JOB.
GIVEN FIRM
AT K0k0M0

The kokomo Electric Construction
company was today awarded the con-
tract for the installation Of an orna-
mental lighting system for the central
business district, the various bids sub
mitted by that company to the board
Of public works yesterday being lower
in every instance than those entered
by the four other competing concerns.
During the next ten days the board
members and the committee of inter
ested business men will decide on the
kind of standard and the type of lamp
which will be used. The contract was
| awarded before this action was taken
so the kokomo company would lose
no time in getting in its order for
cable.

Before the contract was let, yester-
day afternoon, the board held session
! with the business mems committee,
| composed OF L. B. Nusbaum, o. A.
| Dickinson, w. H. Romey, A. c. Linde-
muth and w. C. Seeker, and went over
the various bids.
1t was practically decided that
either type lamp, such is used on
the North Ninth street ornamental
system or the luminous arc, similar to
the. street suspension lamps now used,
will be ordered.
The question Of whether steel or
cast iron standards are to be ordered
must also be decided.
I The Kokomo Electrical Construction
company has assured the board that
it will be able to secure the cable
within three to five weeks time and
that the system will be completely in
stalled within sixty days after the
cable is secured.
Place 117 Standards.
The ornamental system will consist
of III standards and lamps, which are
to be installed on Main street between
Third and Twelfth streets: on Eighth
street, between Main and North A
streets. Feed wires will be placed in
underground conduits.
For an ornamental system, type C

| ence in certain material to be used
