the following report filed by Wm. F. Qualls, Supt. of Lights,
and approved as follows:
December 14th., 1925.
TO the Honorable Board of Pablie Works.
Gentlemen - The attached petition callsfor boulevard lights in the lineoln Manor
District, apparasntly with the idea that this style of light is furnished, upon request,
at the expense of the City. As this is an expense to be born by the property owners
I am unable to report on the application as stated.'
However, there are no lights on any of the streets in this district
and it is consequently dark. I am of the opinion that one 4000 lumen light, placed
on City property at the junction of Bonds Avenue and Hartzer Street, will sufficiently
illuminate the present built-up section for the time being. The nearest are light is
located on Lincoln Way West and Mead Street but in such a position, due to thejog
in the Street, that it does not illuminate Mead Street through this district,
I am attaching a blue print of this district showing location of nearest
are light and location recommended for new are light.
Respectfully submitted,
• Wm. F. Qualls.
