Abstract :
Lansing, the capital of Michigan, will be the first city in the United States to have an architecturally uniform system of street lighting units. A comprehensive scheme which will provide eventually for the illumination of every paved street by ornamental, underground-fed standards has been adopted, and the first 350 units are now being installed. The lighting plan was formulated by the writer in consultation with illuminating engineers of the General Electric Company, and was an outgrowth of a general feeling of dissatisfaction with the existing boulevard lighting system which is not only poorly designed but inefficient. It was realized that the time was opportune for a change, while the investment in existing lighting was still comparatively small, involving no great loss by replacement, and before making a substantial additional investment for extending the system, especially since the contemplated extensions included the most important thoroughfares in the city.
