COPYRIGHTS ITS LAMP-POSTS

Alhambra, Cal., Adopts Exclusive Design in Which City’s Emblem Is Used Effectively.

* Artistic lamp-posts of concrete and iron have been erected in Alhambra, Cal., which were made especially for the city according to a design that has been copyrighted, so that posts of this type cannot be used elsewhere. The insignia of the city is a crescent and star, which is suggestive of the Moorish palace in Spain bearing

the same name as this California town. The emblem has been used very effectively in designing the arms which support two of the three lights on each post. It also appears on the sides of the base. Above each of the latter ornaments is a mission bell. One of these bells serves as a door to the fuse box situated within.
