This morning he started out squads of expert light Inspectors and lamp fixers and It is the intention to inspect every light in the city. The lights are to be repaired and If no repairs are necessary; they are to be thoroughly cleansed, 1 and this includes the globes.

When the inspection work is Com pleted, the apparatus adjusted and the repair work done it is certain that the service will be greatly improved, if not made about as perfect as it is pos sible to get the system. There are several hundred street lights and as the inspection is to be rigid and thor ough, It will take some time to com plete the task. wlicn it passed there last eri.1 of Thomas McDonald.
