Continued increase in street lighting

The North Side of Pittsburgh, known as “Old Alleghany,” will be “New Alleghany” as far as street lights are concerned. 2113 lamps of 600 candle power each are displacing the ancient arc-lighting system. Under a new contract, the city will pay $1.00 more per light per year than formerly, a good investment in vastly superior illumination. Philadelphia is doing the same thing on Broad Street, using 1000 candle power lamps. St. Louis has started work on its $8,000,000 city-wide street lighting program. Danielson, Connecticut; Utica, N. Y.; Sioux City, la.; Longview, Washington; in these and in dozens of other towns, street lighting is being modernized.
