Waterloo Illuminated With Electric Lamps In 1911 Effort
City officials expanded lighting across Waterloo in 1911 with boulevard cluster lamps in east and west business districts. Property owners pay for setup while the city supplies current. By year end 52 west side and 60 east side standards stood, plus gas lamps in outlying areas. The system cut illumination gaps, aided merchants, and included nightly police checks for lamp operation.
