Business Zone Lights Estimate Is $254,639 A preliminary engineering survey suggests ornamental downtown ights for an area bounded by Cherry avenue, Liberty avenue, Spring street and Douglas street, T.

Neiman, consulting engineer retained by the city for the preliminary survey, estimated the cost at $254,639. Chairman Karl V. Janssen of the public utilities committee told the Zity Council Monday night: "We want you to study this report. We don't know yet where we "will get the money. We hope prices may be aetter than the estimate.

This may be a larger area than should be covered. We will continue to study the project, with the citizens committee appointed by the mayor." Taller Poles, Bigger Lights Neiman said modern street lighting is moving "more and more toward taller poles and larger, more efficient luminaries." He proposed to light the area with approximately 1.02-1.22 candlepower at street level. Overhead wiring is recommended because of excess cost and "ques tionable success" of underground circuits for such a system. His plan provides that additional lights may be added as required. Circuits are designed so lights on.

the north and west sides of the streets will burn all night and those on south and east sides will burn part of the night. All would be controlled by time clock. Allows for Decorations "Festoon outlets" are recom mended, to permit plugging in street decoration Vtghting units. Neiman recommends lights operating on 208 or 240 volt circuits and festoon outlets operating on .10 or 120 volt circuits. He proposes 21 feed stations from Public Service Company's primary lines, mounted on 30-foo reated wood poles, containing all power metering and control equip inent.

Two circuits are required from each 'feed station or pole, with two extra poles on South Chicago ave nue to carry power to circuits on South Chicago between Spring am Jackson and Spring street between Strte and Van Buren avenues.

Chairman Edward Brooks of the idewalks committee told the press ie bids will probably be advertised his week.

Council Studies School Lights, 1-Way Speed Limit The City Council's traffic com mittee 'is to study increasing the speed limit on the fringes if the one-way traffic zone. The recommendation was mad by Aid. Elmer Hildebrandt. No reference was made to the act that the police have been operating the timer on West Main street and on'East Stephenson near ienderson street, with fines for residents exceeding 20 miles an lour. Chairman Harold Datt of the traf- ic committee said the fact that hese 1 streets are part of state means the state may have to agree to any change.

Chief of Police Walter L. Marsh aroposed that the blinker traffic ights to be removed at the West- Empire and West-Lincoln intersections be used at three school cross- ngs. He said the three points with leaviest school traffic now lacking traffic lights are: Stephenson street at North Harlem avenue: Empire street between Homestead and School avenues; and Carroll avenue at Iroquois. He recommended crosswalks be at these "Strain poles" would carry cir cuits around corners.
