City Electrician Credits Wartime Christmas Light Setup
Mr. Coffee says some equipment was discarded due to severe disrepair and the electric wiring for colored lights had to be disposed of. He notes he, as city electrician, supervised and cooperated in wiring installations, though decor projects were usually run by independent groups. Wartime displays were halted to save electricity.
