Individual electric lamps number-
ing $3.50 are on Portlands White
Way, and on the other streets of the
city which are provided with elee-
trical illumination, and in. addition
to these there are on the highways
and byways 319 single gas lamps OF
60 candle powe. each, and o02 double
lamps with 140 candle power per
post, which makes a total of 5,1O3 IN
dividual lamps, electrical and gas,
which turn Portland's nighttime into
rear daytime. In number of lights.
at least, Portland can claim to be
far better illuminated than many
New England cities. Hartford. for
instance, which is appreciably larger
in population than Portland. has
but 3,1O0 lamps, Portland's total ex-
ceeding that figure by more than
1000 lamps. 1t requires for Port
lands electrical lighting 1886 CO.
candle power lights at $15.S5 per
year per light; 227 100-candle power
lights at S25 a year per light; SlS
ESQ candle power lights at $33 a year
per light, 365 clusters of ornamental
lights at $55 per year per cluster.
and shortly there will be installed 13
600 candle power lights, which will
be 500 per annum, and six 400-candle
power lights which will be SAB per
annum. All these lights except the
400 and 600-candle power ones yet
to be installed were supplied to
Portland during the past year for a
total cost of $64,551. They repre-
sent total of 44S,560 candle power
while the new lights which are now
being added will bring the total
electrically supplied candle power up
to 458,760. The gas lamps in PORT
land which are for the most part in
ccngested city areas, represent a
total of S9,420 candle power, the 319
single lights of 60-candle power each
supplying 1910 candle power, and
the 502 double lamps at 140-candle
power per post supplying 70,2S0
candle power Portland's bill for gas
lighting in 1924 was $2S,347.95, which
brings the city's total bill for street
illumination up to s92,s99.06.

saw the new brakeman and said with
a sigh of relief:
