Lighting of Public Lamps during Dark and
Foggy Days.
In accordance with arrangements entered into with the
Gas Light and Coke Company in the previous year, for the
lighting of the public lamps during dark and foggy days,
the lamps in the main public ways within the District were
lighted on seven occasions during the winter, the cost of
the same amounting to £7 6s. 7d.
Names on Public Lamps.
The question of affixing the names of streets on public
lamps, which had been at various times before your Board,
was again taken into consideration, and it was ultimately
resolved to have the names in 1½ inch enamelled letters
attached to the glass on certain public lamps in the District,
particularly at junctions of different streets, which work has
been carried out at a cost of £49 3s. 6d.
Electric Lighting.
Under the Provisional Orders granted by the Board of
Trade, and which were confirmed by Act of Parliament on
2Gth August, 1889, the Metropolitan Electric Supply Company,
Limited, has commenced laying mains in connection
with their station in Sardinia Street, to supply electricity
within the District. The following is a list of the streets in
which the mains have been laid up to the date of this
report, and the Company is proceeding rapidly with their
extension.
