THE tAKa SHORE NEWS. FRIDAY. FEB&UAfrV & ^23 Mil 'rfi ';k<i/j:.'.:; ;1§f?: Editor, The Lake Shore News: May I offer congratulations to the Wil- trtette Village Board on its decision to employ a consulting engineer in carry- ing out the street lighting project. The cost of the project is such that the Vil- lage can well afford to employ the best talent available and I know that the tax- payers will be ready to abide by the rec- ommendations of a man with a national reputation to sustain, even though de- tails may not be concurred in at all points. The standing of the engineer should insure the best solution of the problem and the board is to be compli- mented on its decision to secure such a taan. There seems to be some misunder- standing of the motives behind the ques- tions that have been asked regarding the proposals of the Village Board concern- .uig the street lighting plans. The writ- ten both as chairman of the committee of the local chapter of the American As- sociation- of Engineers and as an individ- ual taxpayer, has expressed no opposi- tion to a street lighting system. I have differed seriously with some details of the proposals made. One of these is the size, number and spacing, of the lamps. In the Sf/wd, piihljf k»*rinfr «niw» rpfpr- ence was made by President Zipf to a re- port of the American Engineering soci- ety in which it was stated that a com- mittee of the society recognized that the 100 c. p. lamp has a place in street light- ing. There is no nationally recognized society of that naltne but it is believed that the report referred to is that of the street lighing committee of the American Society for Municipal Improvements, - which is published in part in the Feb- :h ruary issue of the Journal of the Amer- & ican Institute of Electrical Engineers as fc a part of the material available on the general subject of illumination. The so- il ciety is composed of mayors, city coun- f citoien, engineers and others interested in civic affairs whose opinions on street lighting are a considerable factor in shap- ing the trend of street lighting practices. The report contains a table showing the preferred practices in street light- ing, grouping the practices under four headings based on the size of the com- munities. The group for 5,000 to 20,- 000 population in which Wilmette falls Is quoted in a table in an adjoining zolumn: Appended to the table Is a note which says: "The committee recognizes that the 100 c. .p lamps have a place in resi- dential sections, on narrow streets, curb- ed parkways, in parks, in alleys and cer- tain outlaying streets." That the utility !so far been considered necessary in Wil- mette. An interesting fact in this con- nection is the provision in the ordinance ; under which the Kansas City installation, perhaps the most advanced in the country at the moment, is being installed, where- by the city has the option of purchas- ing the system. Depreciation is a defi- nitely recognized factor in the settle- ment which must be made under the terms of the ordinance. The items of fixed cost cannot be ignored in Wilmette as they must be met sooner or later. Another matter is that of underground construction. At no time has the Amer- ican Association of Engineers committee or the writer advocated an overhead sys- Lamp C. P.

The committee notes in the report that the small size lamps are uneconomical because too great a pro- portion of the annual street lighting cost of the city (sometimes as much as three fourths of the total expenditure) is made up of fixed charges on the installation, and only a relatively small part of the expenditure goes for the production of light. It seems that the committee places more emphasis on the matter of deprecia- tion and other fixed charges that has $. «?â-  MOTHERS! |J|i |Givc your children plenty milk.

This is the total out of perhaps 300,000 or more feet of circuit that must be used on the entire system. Ordinary business prudence suggests serious consideration of Sjuch a saving, particularly as it will make for a better operating system. All these points are ones which can be passed on intelligently and settled sat- isfactorily by a competent consulting en- gineer, who has a national reputation to sustain. For one I shall be satisfied to abide by the decision of such an engineer regardless of how I may differ from him in opinion on details. Wilmette can af- ford a good street lighting system. It cannot afford to spend an unnecessary cent for frills that are not essential to good street lighting as there are other expenditures for public improvements SSnmust be faced fn the next few years. The only motive behind any question that I have been interested m asking is to help securing the best street lighting sys- tem that can be gotten at a reasonable price.
