Diogenes Outdone by Electroliers in Waterloo
In 1911 Waterloo lacked lamps to guide pedestrians and beautify the city. By 1912 both sides of a block bore 16 lamps, a beacon of modernity. Waterloo now has 316 electroliers across more than two miles, costing about 1000 dollars per block. During 1917 parts were added and two blocks widened on Sycamore, Park avenues.
