SUPERINTENDENT OF LIGHTS.

IN BOARD OF ALDERMEN, March 6, 1896.
Referred to Committee on Printing, to be printed in the Annual Reports. Sent down for concurrence.
GEORGE I. VINCENT, Clerk.
IN COMMON COUNCIL, March 6, 1896.
Referred to Committee on Printing, to be printed in the Annual Reports, in concurrence.
CHARLES S. ROBERTSON, Clerk.
CITY OF SOMERVILLE.
CITY HALL, January 1, 1896. .
To HIS HONOR, THE MAYOR, AND THE CITY COUNCIL :-
Gentlemen, - I have the honor to submit the third annual report of the Superintendent of Electric Lights, for the year 1895.
There were in the city on January 1, 1895, five hundred and fifty- nine street lamps. During the year one electric arc has been added, and three oil lamps situated on Boston avenue have been discontinued, making the number in the city December 31, 1895, three hundred and forty-nine electric arcs, and two hundred and eight incandescents. Three of the arc lights are located on the city parks, viz. : two on Broadway park and one on the park on Central Hill.
The arc and incandescent lights are to burn, by the terms of the contract made for five years, from October 1, 1892, three thousand, eight hundred and twenty-eight hours in each year. A schedule of the time of lighting and extinguishing is given to the Electric Light Company each month by me.
A fine of six cents per hour for arc, and one cent per hour for incandescent lights is imposed on the company for every light out during the time they should be in service.
The way of obtaining the outs is by the police patrolmen ; the best way yet devised, as the police cover the whole city, and a report from them each morning comes as near being correct as any that can be obtained without great expense.
At the present time the Electric Light Company has but one man to patrol the entire city, his time of service expiring at midnight. I would again recommend that the company appoint an additional patrolman, and extend the time of patrol from midnight to the time of extinguishing the lights, thus ensuring a better lighting service to the city.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
The recommendation of last year pertaining to the trimming of the dense foliage of the trees that obstruct the lights of the city, has been partially complied with, and I trust that this year the work will be continued so that the best results may be obtained from all our street lamps.
The arc light added this year was placed at the Holland street railroad crossing at West Somerville. The incandescent lamp for- merly located on Claremon street, near Mead street, has been removed, and one has been placed on Edmands street.
Two lights have been taken from the tops of poles and placed on arms. A large number of lamps have been removed from old poles to new poles, and the weight arm substituted for the old style trolley arm. Better lighting results could be obtained if all street lights were thus placed, as the weight arm is so arranged that the lamp re- mains at the end of the arm at all times.
The electric arc lights in the streets are placed as follows : - Three upon iron extensions which belong to the city ; one (in Union square) on an iron extension belonging to the West End Street Rail- way Co .; three suspended across the street ; eighteen upon wooden poles, and three hundred and twenty-one upon arms.
