There are few wants more necessary in a well regulated community than light. After securing a generous supply of pure fresh air, good wholesome water, clean streets and surroundings well drained, we need light by night as well as by day. During the last few years many of our smaller cities, seeing the improvement made in larger places, have secured electric light plants. Some, from a spirit of rivalry, have gone into these enterprises blindly, without counting the cost or carefully considering the questions involved. The strong, convincing argument in favor of the arc lamps is the great concentration of light in one lamp. But the light received is as the square of tlie distance lighted, a fact that is often overlooked.
