GAS LIGHTING AT BOLTON.

Incandescent Gas Burners v Arc Lamps- From the Gas World, April 8, 1899. In the minutes of the Gas and Lighting Committee, submitted to the monthly meeting of the Town Council on Wednesday last, there occurred,

uiider date 16th March, the following passage:—" Kead report of cost of lighting public streets by means of electric arc lighting and incandescent gas lamps, As a result of fnquirief made, and in view of the efficiency and ' economy of lighting streets by means of the incandescent gas lamps 8 this com rmttee ia of opinion that ifc is un desirable at presrnt to ndopfc the system of electric arc street lighting, Resolved —That Mealhouse lane, Hotel street, Acresfield, Fold street, Mawdsley street, and Johnson street be lighted by means of double incandescent gas lamps, under the direction of the chairman and vice chairman." The decision of the Committee was con firmed by the Town Council without discussion. In view of the importance of the decision in its bearing oa the general question of the competition between gas and electricity for public ighting, a representative of the Gas World waited on Mr Alderman Miles, the Chairman of the Gas Committee, *t the close of the Council meeting, for ihe purpose of obtaining information as to the steps leading up to tha resolution now adopted. These steps, he found, were described in a report that had oeeu prepared for the Committee by the gas engineer and the lighting superintendent for the borough, in which report there was embodied a statement of what the Gas Committee saw and heard at Liverpool during » recent visit. Southport, it appears, was also visited, but as Liverpool is a commerc al city, and its lighting re quirements are, therefore, not unlike those of Bd.on, the report is con tined in that regard to a narration of the experience of Liverpool. The Corporation of Liverpool, the re port states, has introduced electric arc lighting iuto several streets ; 133 lamps of 500 candle-power, nominally, have been fitted up, aud these are placed ' fifty yards apart, on one side of the street or road only, or in the centre of the roadway, where that has been found convenient. The charge made for the current is 3d per unit, and , there has to be met in addition tht cost of maintenance, amounting to £3 19s 4d per lamp per annum. But the city is lighted principally with single ■md double-burner incandescent gafc lamps, which are placed forty yard* ■ipart on each side of the street or road. The Corporation finds that it can light the streets well with the incandescens gas lamps at much less cost than with eiectriciby. It has now 4000 iocan -lescent gas lamps in use, and the ad vantage is so grett that ie has been decided to light the whole of the re umining part of the city wilh these lamps. This resolution is being can id ■>ut as expeditiously as possible. Tht ijiverpool authorities find that the cos' of lighting the streets by electricity in the manner describbd is £750 per mile, as against £127 per mile for doubii burner incandescent gas lamps, £89 per mile for single-burner incandc* I cent gas lamps, and £81 per mile foi gas lamps with ordinary burners. These figures show that the city caii be lighted with double-burner incan descent gas lamps at about one-sixth the cost of electricity, and with single burner incandescent gas lamps at less than one-eighth of electricity, The Bolton gas committee considers that l( tho main factor in street lighting is to have the streets well lighted at as low a cost as possible," and whilst thus placing on record the latest figures as to the comparative cost of the two modes of lighting in Liverpool, it declares in its report that it consider? that the incandescent gas system is " preferrable to electricity, as the lamps are not so far apart, and the light is nearly equal over the whole area of the street or road," In Boiton, the lamps are lighted for 3240 hours per annum, as against 3800 hours per annum in Liverpool, Another point of difference is that in Bolton, according to a proposal made some time ago by the Electricity Committee of the Corporation, the arc lamps were to be fixed eighty yards apart, and after midnight, half the lamps were to be extinguished, leaving them 160 yards apart, as compared with fifty yards apart at Liverpool, In the opinion of the Gas Committee, this would not light the town in a satis factory manner, nor nearly as well as it can be lighted by single and double burner incandescent gas lamps placed | along each side of the streets and roads, at distances of forty yards apart, yet the cost of electric lighting under this proposal would be £900 per annum, as against £566 5s for lighting by gas. The estimated coat of the gas 'lighting by double and single incan descent burners is made up as follows : Double. Single. £sd £ s d Gas 1 17 5 1 4 1 Lighting & maintenance 017 0 017 0 Extra mantles.. .. 011 10 0 511 £3 6 3 £2 7 0 100 lamps at £3 63 3d .. £531 5 0 100 lamps at £2 7s Od  £235 0 0 £566 5 0 The total cost per annum here set out provides for the lighting of the two hundred gas lamps all the night through, whereas in the case of electri city, as already stated, one half of the lamps would be extinguished after midnight. Anticipating the judgment of the Town Council on the facts here reproduced from the report, the Gas Committee bad already begun the erection of gas lanterns of the Bellamy type, in some of the streets mentioned in the resolution, and the result, so far, is entirely satisfactory. The lamps are so spaced that, taking the two sides of a street in conjunction, there is only a little over twenty yards between them. In this way every portion of the street iq well lighted, and there are no» © of the deep shadow? which usually characterise arc lighting. It is under stood that the installation will be com- 3 pleted with as little delay as possible, ■'

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs' through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1383. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the PrusaianGovernment to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we bate :— It is proved by tests by the Medioal Clinic* of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sobnlz,Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dri Mossier, Director af the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a. id freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or ao called Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed aocording to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specifio density through tne presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resina and teunatea. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in oases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
