No Darkened White Way in This City
An order requiring darkened street lighting on Sundays and Thursdays nationwide does not affect Quincy. Quincy uses hydro power from the Keesix dam with local supply by Quincy Gas, Electric and Heating Company. Superintendent Channon says no extra coal is needed for street lighting, exhaust is used, and the city will likely remain lit unless the government deems exempt. State officials will enforce the order, with lights darkened except for essential governmental and municipal needs.
