Insufficient electric lighting equip

be responsible for abandoning the

system was introduced by John A.
Beeler. traffic expert. six months ago.
as a remedy for the congestion of
street cars around o'clock in the

The Treasury is an example of
a building poorly equipped for work

carrying the current when all de-
