IRON POLES CAUSE OF POOR LIGHTING They are Not Waler Tight and Insulators are Defective. N An explanation of the poor lighting service furnished by the United Elec- tric Light and Water company has been presented to Mayor George A. Quigley in the form of a letter from Superintendent G. F. Atwater. The superintendent ascribes the poor ser- vice to trouble the company has been having since the new ornamental iron poles were substituted for the wooden poles. Mayor Quigley received numerous complaints regarding the service last week and wrote to the company about it. The following is Super- intendent Atwater’'s reply: “I have your esteemed inquiry of the 3rd inst. relative to complaints you have received regarding the arc lights not being lit and regret very much to say the service has not been satisfactory of late. We feel, how- ever, that we have not been entirely to blame for this. Very good ser- vice was maintained while the flame arc lamps were located on the wood- en poles, but just as soon as they ‘were changed to the ornamental iron poles trouble began. “In the first place, the porcelain cutouts which were furnished with the iron poles and are located in the bases of the poles whose function it is to turn the current off the lamps in case of trouble in the lamp, showed defects and one -after another blew up causing the circuit to be shut down in every case and in several cases when they blew up the cable was so badly burned that it was im- possible to put the circuit on again until new cable had been installed. This type of cutout is the only one | on the market at the present time 80 We were unable to fall back on another make. We took the mat- ter up with the manufacturers and they sent a representative here, who, after 100king over the ground told us they could not guarantee satisfac- tory operation of these cutouts as the poles were not water tight. We have decided, therefore, to do away with these cutouts until something more satisfactory is invented. We alréady have about a quarter of these Mrs. Carman, a stately matron of re- finement and wealth, admitted that she had been suspicious of her husband as regards his relations with women patients. She had secretly installed a dicttagraph in his office, so that she could procure evidence against him to use in divorce proceedings, but she removed and are worklng on the re- mainder. ‘““‘Another trouble which came in conjunction with the above was that when a cutout blew up an abnormal current was built up on the line which sometimes burned out coils in the arc lamps. About two weeks ago we lost twenty-five lamps all in one night. This burning out of the coils is some- thing peculiar with the new flame arcs and would not have been ex- perienced with the old type of arcs. ‘We have taken this matter up with the lamp manufacturers and they are | rectifying this trouble. In the mean- time we feel that we will have re- moved the primary source of the trouble when the cutouts in the iron poles have been removed. “We feel very much -annoyed at having this trouble occur-and in con- sequence having to furnish poer ser- vice, but let me assure you that we have been and are at- the . present time working hard to-remedy theso | a defects and feel sure that within few days the service will be entirély satisfactory.” The Big Store’s Inventory Sale.
