More Mercury Vapor W. H. Gray, East Texas division auditor' for the power firm, and Mason Reardon, local manager, appeared in behalf of the resolution. Mr.

Gray also noted that 118 incandescent lamps could be replaced with an equal number of 8000 lumen mercury vapor lamps with an increase to the city in monthly billing rate $45.30.
