Lincoln Electric System board approves a 1977 budget of 108.5 million dollars, up 46 percent from 1976, largely to fund a Wyoming generating plant.

The changeover spans five to seven years with phased lighting reductions on arterials and subdivisions, while safety lights near rail crossings remain. Coordination with police aims to maintain traffic safety.
