Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Lighting For many years it has been known that an extremely brilliant light could be produced by slightly separating two pencils of carbon, through which a powerful current of electricity, was passing, as the mysterious force spans the gap with an arc of intense light. The one insuperable bar to the general intro duction of this light, was its great cost, due to the necessity of producing the current by the consumption of zinc in the gal vanio battery. In spite of this expense the are light early found a limited application to lighthouses, and other import ant government works.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rehabilitation of the Municipal Electric Lighting System at Downers Grove, Ill: A Thesis Downers Grove is a suburban community situated about twenty miles west of Chicago, on the Chicago, Bur - lington and Quincy Railroad. During the last decade it has grown from a cluster of frame buildings at a country crossroads into a progressive town of 2500 inhabitants. This transition has been accomplished largely through the acquisition of modern improvements; paved streets, cement walks, storm and sanitary sewers, gas mains, and a city water system having been installed to meet the demands of progressive citizens. In fact Downers Grove enjoys all of the municipal conveniences that are usually found in towns of this size, with the excaption of a satisfactory electric lighting system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamental Street-Lighting: A Municipal Investment and Its Return Consider the case of Minnesota Street, between 4th and 7th Streets in St. Paul. In 1910 it was a gloomy thoroughfare, flanked by dreary buildings, most of them dilapidated. In 1912 it is a prosperous street in which new buildings are taking the place of the old. Good street-lightning and nothing else did that. A hundred towns in the United States and Canada can point to dead Minnesota streets that have been electrified by light into life. Their myriad lamps mean civic pride, prosperity, cleanliness, health, safety, enterprise - everything that a business man expects of the town in which he lives. Good street-lightning pays in dollars and cents - pays tremendously in attracting business, pays in greater real estate values, pays in animating avenues that would die after sunset.

Book Synopsis Street Lighting (Classic Reprint) by : J. M. Bryant
Download or read book Street Lighting (Classic Reprint) written by J. M. Bryant and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Street Lighting 1. Preliminary. - It is the purpose of this bulletin to make available information concerning street illumination. The suggestion which led to this compilation came from the many inquiries received by the Electrical Engineering Department each year from those interested in framing ordinances permitting corporations or individuals to operate street lighting systems. An attempt has been made to present this information in such a form as to be readily understood by the general public, without requiring any special technical knowledge. The data have been compiled from reliable sources, and checked in many instances by tests conducted by the writers. This bulletin is designed to be of assistance to central station superintendents, and to the general public in selecting the proper lamp and fixing the charge for the same. It is also designed to be of value to the illuminating engineer and to the manufacturer, and in clearing up, or perhaps in preventing misunderstandings, which so frequently arise between municipalities and power companies. These misunderstandings, being usually the outcome of imperfect knowledge of the effectiveness and limitations of ordinary street lighting units, may readily be prevented if specifications and contracts be made definite and clear. Many contracts are based upon the rates charged in cities of about the same size for the same class of service, regardless of the comparative operating cost of the installation in each case. Many companies do not compute the cost of any one particular branch of their service, but are satisfied if their total yearly balance shows a profit. Other companies, while knowing the cost of operation of the street lights, are still governed by the prevailing rate in similar cities. Thus it is that some companies may furnish the light to the city streets at an actual loss, but are compensated for this loss by special privileges in other branches of the service. It is believed by the writers that fewer misunderstandings would arise between the consumer and the company if each branch of service received its proper compensation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of Defunct Municipal Lighting Plants In view of the persistent suppression by advocates of municipal ownership of the real facts in regard to municipal lighting plants, it has seemed worth while to prepare a list of municipalities which have wholly or in part gone out of the lighting business by the sale, lease or abandon ment of their plants. In almost every case information has been sought first from the mayor or city clerk, and in cases where no response has been received from them, application has been made so far as possible to disinterested persons, such as the editors of the local papers.

Download or read book Public Lighting written by W. J. Dibdin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Lighting: By Gas and Electricity The scheme of the present work has been to collect together a series of representative facts relating to the production and utilisation of light for public use, whether by means of coal gas or electricity. In such a connection auxiliary methods, such as the use of acetylene and petroleum, could not be passed over, and therefore are included. It would have been impossible to comprise full details of all adjuncts relating to thwe several subjects within the compass of a volume of the present size, and therefore much interesting matter has necessarily been left out, but it is hoped that the essential features have been indicated with sufficient clearness. The reader who desires to follow the various processes involved in the production of either coal gas or electricity, af r reading the introductory accounts herein given, will doubtless continue their study in the more strictly technical text-books. The accounts given of the results of actual working operations will, it is believed, be of no little interest, particularly the full information afforded in the valuable reports by Mr. Bellamy, City Lighting Engineer of Liverpool, whose work in this direction has deservedly gained the approbation of all those who have followed its progress Probably in no other town has public lighting been more successfully and economically studied and carried into effect. The particulars relating tothe progress which has been made in the production and utilisation of electricity is well exemplified in the case of Bristol, where the important factor of the day-load has received much attention, resulting in a striking success. A feature of the present work which will, it is hoped, be of much assistance to those having charge of public lighting is the valuable series of tables, giving full particulars of the systems employed in a large number of representative towns both in America and England. The author has to express his sincere thanks to the various authorities referred to, who have in every case kindly revised the proof sheets, thereby bringing them up to date and ensuring their correctness. Sincere thanks are due to those gentlemen who have kindly supplied illustrations for the work and assisted with much valuable information.

This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial to the Legislature of the State of New York for an Investigation of the Conditions Surrounding Gas and Electric Lighting in the City of New York: The Merchants Association of New York, January 11, 1905 We are glad to observe that in his message of January 1, 1905, to the Board of Aldermen of the City of New York, the Honor able Mayor of the City advocates the enactment of legislation to enable the City to erect and maintain an electric plant to light the streets, parks and public buildings of the City, and has caused a bill for that purpose to be prepared for introduction into the Legislature. In his message the Mayor also states: The prices which the City is compelled to pay for gas and electric light are so out of proportion with the charges in other cities, that they must be extortionate. The Legislature in 1903 having seen fit to refuse to empower the City to establish an electric-lighting plant for city lighting, the City has continued to remain under the control and at the mercy of the several lighting companies, and private consumers are still forced to pay the exorbitant charges exacted, and for insufficient light. If the Legislature is not willing to authorize the City to establish an electric-lighting plant of its own, it should at least investigate this entire subject and by its investigation either con firm or refute the widely prevalent belief that the prices charged both the City and private consumers are far too high and that the illuminants are inferior in quality. Even if the City should be empowered to construct an electric-lighting plant (and we believe that should be done), inasmuch as that plant would not carry relief to private consumers, the investigation sought is eminently necessary and proper. Some idea of the burden placed upon private consumers of gas is given in an official report of the U. S. Government, from which we cite below. In the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor of the United States for 1899, upon Water, Gas and Electric Plants and Private and Municipal Ownership, there appears an exhaustive analysis of the cost of gas production in more than one-half of all the gas plants of the country, from which the deduction is made by the Commissioner that under the most favorable and most economical conditions of production, in plants of large capacity, the average cost of gas does not exceed 42 cents per one thousand cubic feet of gas sold. The cost as thus ascertained includes not only all the elements of manufacturingcost, but also allowance for waste or leakage, depreciation, interest on investment and taxes.
