JAMES 'AUL,
Chairman.
Ald. Saul moved that the report be
approved. Carried.
Your Committee on Police and
Light, to whom was referred the
matter of seeing what arrangements
could be made with the Union Elec-
tric company to have certain of the
boulevard lamps kept burning all
night, would respectfully state that
on inquiry we find that the system
under which the lamps are wired, is
not adapted for closing off -any of the
lamps, and that the cost of rewiring
would render the proposition prohib-
itive at the present time.
We would further report that we
had an interview with General Man-
ager E. M. Walker of the Union Elec-
tric company regarding all night and
every night lighting. Mr. Walker
submitted a proposition to keep every
are lamp we now have in service lit
all night and every night for the sum
of $60.00 per Iarnp per annum, and
to charge $12.00 per month for block
where there are six lamps in the
block, and $8.00 per block per month
where there are bitt four lamps in
the block; in other words, the Union
Electric company will furnish all
lights on the boulevard system at $2.00
per lamp per month from midnight
to dawn.
As the contract under which we are
now working provides for a charge
of $70.00 per arc lamp per annum
for all night and every night lighting,
we regard the reduction voluntarily
proposed by the Union Electric com-
pany, as being very advantageous to
the city, and would respectfully rec-
ommend that the same be accepted,
Provided it be found possible to pro-
vide funds therefor when making the
appropriations. The additional ex-
pense will add not to exceed $1,500.00
to the present appropriation.
