City considers 25000 dollar municipal lighting plant
A report by John L. Coffin, superintendent of the water department, submitted to the Common Council, outlines the probable installation and operating costs for a municipal electric lighting plant to illuminate street intersections. It bases the estimate on 25 lamps and 9000 candle power units, with three engines and dynamos, new boiler space, and a yearly coal cost around 50 per lamp. The plan anticipates 125 lamps burning all night, two engines in service, and a potential revenue from surplus lights to offset costs. The engineering input cites General Electric figures, and the council received the report as presented.
