Electric Light Franchise Proposed for Forty Arc Lights
Mr Durdall spoke to the city council proposing a forty arc electric lighting system for the business and residential districts with lights at intersections and depots. He suggested a price of 4.50 per arc per month and offered to build a plant for city lighting if a franchise is approved, with the city to buy at actual cost if possible. The council set the franchise vote for the March 28 election and the plan could bring city lighting sooner than expected.
