Today is the fortieth anniversary of the be-
ginning Of Edison Service in New York City
the first public service of the kind anywhere in
the world This Service has continued with
out interruption, other than the brief suspen-
sion caused by the fire of January 2, 1890,
in which the Station was largely destroyed.
1t is but proper tribute to the wide vision
and great genius of Edison to point out that
his first electrical system of forty years ago,
in the development of which he worked day
and night, embodied all the essential prin-
ciples in force at the present time
From the beginning, coal and ashes were
handled by machinery; engines and dynamos
were coupled together as a single unit; electri-
cal and mechanical appliances of original con-
ception were introduced to prevent variation
in voltage and candle power; safety fuses pro-
tected the entire system from generators to
customers lamps He then introduced his
system of feeders, upon which the stability
and control of the system depends. Under
ground conductors were used, method pre-
viously considered by the best scientific minds
impossible of attainment Further, the Gus
toner's service was measured by a scientlfi-
cally accurate meter-another invention of
greatest Importance, and the only medium by
which essential fairness could be assured to
the public
The growth of the Edison system in New
York City has been constant, and probably
beyond the highest expectations of its dis
tingushed creator. On the first day of oper-
alton, 1884 incandescent lamps were con-
nected, 400 of which were in use before the

General Work accusing him OF violat

not willing to apply the civil service rule
in choosing from the first three men on
the eligible list regardless of the recon-
mendation OF any Senator or Represen-
tative except as to character or resi-
dence.
IF these places were actually classi-
fled by law" Mr.. Foulke wrote, your
practice OF seeking the recommendation
of Congressman and OF selecting men
only because they are Republicans would
constitute a violation OF the Federal
statutes and Is not in accord with the
stated intention OF the President that

day was over. In corresponding units, the
present installation exceeds q, 100000. Then,
the customer paid one cent for I6 candle
power hours, a price for which he now obtains
nearly I5o- candle power hours
No demand for electrical service is too
small, none too large, to receive the best
efforts of the Company, from the single lamp
on the corner newsstand, to the many thou
sands of lamps in the large structures of the
city; from the dentists motor, requiring per-
haps the 10th Of a horsepower, to the great
elevator equipments, which use thousands of
horsepower and carry millions of passengers
with absolute safety. Simple threads of cop
per connect the installation with the greatest
power plants of the world, located on the
waterfronts Of the City. BY reason of the
great size, perfection of design, equipment,
and operation of these plants, the highest
attainable economies in the use of coal are
assured together with the greatest degree Of
protection of the men, resulting in the lowest
possible cost to the public
What has been achieved in the past will
continue to constitute a series Of stepping
stones to still greater accomplishment in the
future. No effort will be spared to secure this
result Nothing else would fulfil our obliga-
tons to the people of this City. Nothing else
would be in keeping with the spirit that has
pervaded the life work of the great man whose
name we are privileged to bear, and to whom
we desire to express our feeling of deep and
lasting appreciation and Indebtedness. We
wish him many years Of life and health, and
of continued service to his fellow-man

august event we committed to
memory entire paragraphs, from

we might thereby demonstrate the

Came a day when we saw Bea-

was at hand. We smoothed our
