Electric lighting debated in Cleveland and Detroit
A long critique argues Cleveland has a poor electric lighting system and Detroit likewise underperforms, favoring gas on shaded business streets. The piece mocks the Sentinel’s praise and notes safety and effectiveness concerns, while mentioning The Sun’s Baltimore paper, FHE WORLD, and various political and local news items from the era.
