The present street lightingsystem,

of 80 are lamps and 178 32 candle pow-
er lcmps. The total number of lamps l

power is approximately 29,700. and the
total yearly cost is $9, 959. _
The proposed system will consist of

candle power lamps. The total num~
ber of lamps will be 314; the total can-I

The two systems will compare as fol-
lows: l

Number of lamps. old system, 258;'

Total approximate candle power, old

7, 600 increase.

Cost. per year. old system. 39, 959;
new system, $7,452;12.507 decrfeaae. .

The new system. compared to the
old system, will show 21.7 per cent. in:
crease in the number of lamps; 25 per

and 25.2 per cent. decrease in cost. .1

The above comparison is based on
the proposition made by the company
to' the First District Commissioners,
which is subiect to some variation as
to number of lamps. etc., before final
acceptance.
