ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Sir,—Your leader in this morning's paper on the subject of the electric light service of our town lias induced me to ask you if you can explain how it is the electric lights in the streets are so frequently allowed to remain alight all day long''/ There may be a very good reason for this, but it is not apparent to the public, and seems to be an unnecessary waste—l am, etc., ELECTRIC CONSUMER.
[The Electric Light Engineer, in reply to our enquiry, stated that the street lights do not remain alight all day. Once a week the lights are tested, and "for this purpose the current is switched on. As some of the circuits contain n considerable number of lights, it means that the current is on for a considerable period. The engineer added he would bo glad if anyone noticing any burntout lights would at once notify the department, when they would be immediately replaced.—Ed.]
