GREATER LIGHTING FUNDS PROPOSED. May Ask for Increase of More Than $100,000 This Year. The electrical department is plan- ning to recommend to the Commis- sioners that the allotment for main- tenance of street lights be increased | in the next estimates from $472,000 to about $600,000. It also is reported that the new estimates will seek more than $35,000 for erection of new lights, as com- pared with a current appropriation of $20,000 for that purpose. These figures represent the regular annual estimates, but, in addition, the electrical department is now working to ascertaln how large a sum would have to be spent within the next five years to give Washing- ton an adequate street lighting sys- tem. Officials of the electrical depart- ment hope to finish this survey be- fore the regular estimates are com- pleted, so that the Commissioners may also lay the flve-year street lighting program before the bureau the budget If they deem such a course wise, Concert by the Army Band, W.
