What It Will Cost to Install Boulevard Lights.

John Biederwolf was in Elwood recently and while there met a member of the electric light committee that installed the boulevard light system in that city. There were 26 posts used and the entire number ready for the current to be turned on was $l,lOO. A five light post complete was figured at $42.50. The center or top light was 100 candle power, the other four of the cluster were 60 candle power.—Monticello Journal. This style of lights for Washington street have been proposed a number of times and could be installed at a cost not very much greater than will be entailed by expending arc light wires on River street, a distance of about three or four blocks to install one arc light for "the benefit of three or four families, which, by the way, is causing a great amount of criticism by taxpayers and citizens generally, as there are many parts of the city that need fights very much more, and to whom they have been “promised” for a tong time.
