J. Malcomson, street lighting engineer of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, in a recently published handbook on street lighting. "It has been said that one street lamp is worth 10 policemen," the handbook says. "It is evident that the elimination of the undesirable condi- tions of dangerous, dimly lighted streets is of inestimable value. In one town crimes committed in a newly lighted district decreased nine percent." Proper street lighting as a reducer of accidents also is discussed in the handbook. Tt estimates the lack of adequate light is responsible for 54 million dollars of accident damage an- nually. . The handbook shows that a recent investigation of municipal financing disclosed the rather startling fact that while 21 cents of each dollar is spent for protection--police, fire, etc.--only 3.4 cents is spent for street lighting and that municipalities are paying little more per capita for street lighting today than they paid 20 years ago. The handbook traces the develop- ment of municipal lighting from 200 A. D., when lamps burning animal fat were hung before the homes of prom- inent Romans, until the present time. Vessels filled with tallow lighted the street intersections of Paris in 1558 to be followed in 1745 by oil lanterns. The discovery of gas turned atten- Bal- timore was the first American city to be lighted with gas in 1817. Electric arc lamps were introduced in 1879 and improvements in street lighting since that time have been rapid. Today we have the gas-filled Mazda lamp. Invention of the latter marked the beginning of modern street lighting on a scientifically defined plan and made it possible to combine in a street lighting system both utility and 'decoration. Such systems have been installed in many northern Illinois towns including Wilmette. In conclusion the handbook declares good street lighting is an indication of prosperity; that it creates an impres- sion of thrift and progress and returns taxpayers in ad- vanced real estate values. | The PEERLESS Insure Immediate Delivery.

They have big parades, the town bands dispense harmony in large quantities, much food is consumed, contests of many sorts are run off. Full Page Ads are celebrations. Through them, advertisers make a strong impression on all readers of the papers. They "tell the world" that the business is being extended. The ads celebrate enterprise, industry, and service.
