Incandescent Lighting In Wichita Introduced At Last
Wichita launches a modern incandescent electric lighting system replacing much of the old arc setup. The Citizens' Electric Light Co builds a two hundred seventy lamp plant at Third and Wichita, using multiple dynamos and Westinghouse engines. The system promises private residences, shops, and public buildings lighting with new voltage, and plans to illuminate suburbs with remote installations. Public notices cover rates for contractual lighting, security features, and future power for sewing machines, motors, and streetcars.
