' WHAT CITY WOULD SAVE By Cutting Down the Lighting the "White Way." At a meeting of the City Council in December, the Utilities Commission was a to cut in two the number lights .- on "the "white. way," and after. a test to report to the,eouneil the : saving: that' would be effected by a reduetion, in the number of lamps kept in operation. = General Manager Fo! made a report 'to the commis- sion at its meeting' Monday after. noon, and this report was sent'on to the council. | According to. Manager .Folger's ve. port, the cost of lighting the full 96 lamps along the "white way'® all 'night would he $8,307.12: to light 48 lamps all night and 48 uniil mid- night "would cost $7,052.40 18 lamps all night and ' 48 out, ¥5,563.52; 0 lamps a8 night, 24 till itidnight and 148 out, $5,208.96. ? At present, 48 lamps on the "white way" are lighted until ntidnight and +24 all night. By retaining this ser- ! vice, instead of having 96 lit ill mid- night and 48 all night, the city would save ahout $1,400 a year in its light- ing bill.

The inspector, ke said, was quite willi that the city police should lay all liquor informa- tions for violations, but he said that an arrangement had been made whére- by each department was to look after certain things.
