Although Police Commissioner En- right called off his “no lights” order Monday night after the city had been steeped in darkness for two weeks because of German air raid rumors, the principal north and south ave- niles are still in gloom. Just why, ho one in authority appears able, or at least willing, to officially explain. New York City’s avenues are only half lighted now, but not because of the fear of air raids, The truth of the matter is that certain officials have seized upon the scare as an ex- ease for cutting down electric light bills and making a record for economy. ‘The officials of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, which bas supervision of city light- img, are reticent, to say the least. Al that they will admit is that the order for the relighting of the city applies only to commercial lighting, and that they have not yet received “permis- sion” from the Police Commissioner to order the relighting of arc lamps along the various avenues. When the German air raid scare was at its height and Police Commis- sioner Enright ordered that the city ‘be plunged in darkness, observations were made from airplanes. AS a re- sult, it is claimed by city officials, it was decided to put out every other avenue light. It was said by the light- ing officials that when the full quota of street arc lainps were I{t an enemy air raider would have little difficulty locating important centres for bomb- ing purposes. GLOOM CONTINUES, THOUGH ORDER IS LIFTED, But after the air raid scare had pent itself and announcements came from Washington that no official or- ders bad emanated from there for the snuffing of New York City’s lights, be- cause it was not considered necessary, Commissioner Enright decided to re- scind his order. Assistant Secretary Benedict Crow- ell of the War Department had this to say of the “no Lgnts” order in th. chy: “We have never regarded this (meaning the Deputy Police Commis: sioner) came to Washington, we were inclined to regard it solely as the work of the New York Pclico Depart- ment. Mr. Ryan told wu) mn. Mann gave the instructions, We said that if Gen, Mann said so it must be all right.” No city official {s wilting to admit permitting Broadway — atvertising as @ necessary order.
