signed for the District VIII be in
stalled during the remainder OF the
current fiscal year. Maj. w. H. Hol-
,ombe. Assistant ENGINEER Commits
sioner announced today.
Preparations are being made by
the Engineer department to spend
close to $4,000 in the next few

tenn. Some of this money has already
been let on contract from last year S
appropriation and the balance Is pro-
yided for in the current act.
Total OF 1000 Installations.
The scheme really will mean 1000
installations because wherever the
new tyne of posts is installed the
older pedtstals will be re-crected on
other streets which now have either
no lights or gas.
The list of thorouehfares to be
adorned with the new posts mas not
been completed. but it has been prac-
ticallv decided that Sixteenth street
and PENNSYLVANIA avenue in front ot
the White Hous, will be included.
The present pian is to erect new
Singlr-light nam, ntal posts on S'A-
-eenth street from II street northward
PENNSYLVANIA avenue from Fifteenth to
Seventeenth the POSTS from which two
lights are suSi ended viii be install ed.
In both instances the old posts wl'l be
moved to other streets.
Large Program Mapped.
Mai. Holcombe and Electrical Engi-
neer Hadley have conferred with En-
gineer Commissioner Bell as to other
1ocatjons where the most modern type
of illumination should be installed.
This program of immediate street
lighting work is small i'll comparison
with the comprehensive scheme thd t
has been worked out by the ConlmiS-
sioners for the expenditure of more
than a million dollars over five or
eight year period i'll improving light
ing all over the District
The city heads may get an appro-
priation from Congress a I the next SeS-
sion to be-in this city-wide upbuildins
