The Committee appointed at the Town Meeting of last spring to examine into the condition of the street lighting in the town of Lexington, begs to submit the following report : We believe in general that the streets of a town the size of Lex- ington, can be more satisfactorily lighted by a more liberal dis- tribution of incandescent lights than by a fewer number of arc lights and that by certain changes in this line better results can be obtained and money saved for the town. Hancock Street, between the Common and the junction with Adams Street, is at present lighted by four arc lights and two incan- descent Lights, for which the town pays 8332 per annum. We be- lieve the street will be more satisfactorily lighted with twelve 25 c.p, incandescent lamps, which at the prices now charged for these same li• ghts $16 each, would cost $192, thereby creating a saving to the town of $140. Mt. Vernon District is at present lighted by six arc lights and four incandescent lights, the cost of which to the town is $514. We believe that this District can be better lighted with twenty-six 25 c.p. incandescent lights, which at the regular rate would cost $416, thus saving the town $98. In the distribution of these twenty-six in- candescent lights, we estimate upon placing three extra lights upon Eliot Road which is not now lighted. This road starts opposite W. A.
