The following recommendation addressed to the Chairman of the Public
Lighting.Committee was read:
"John Yaeger
Chairman, Public Lighting Committee
Dear Mr. Yaeger:
As we have discussed previously, the problem of street
lighting in the Mayo Homestead Addition is somewhat different
than the street lighting in other parts of our city. The
Homestbad Addition is unique in that the sidewalks arenot
adjacent to or parallel with the streets; instead the sidewalks
lie in what we would normally consider the back property line;
in this manner one sidewalk serves residences which front on
two streets.
In laying out a street lighting system, we normally think
of the street light, lighting both the street and the sidewalk.
With the sidewalks being at the rear this is obviously -impossible
in this case. As both the sidewalk and the street must be
lighted, our problem is then to lay, out a system in which
sidewalk lighting and street light lighting are both involved.
• As we. discussed in our conference last Saturday, it - will be
possible.for us to lay out a system in which the amount of
actual street lighting will be cut. to a. minimum and then
utilize the additional street lights for lighting the sidewalk
lines. As the streets themselves will have no pedestrian
traffic it will not be necessary to have the light intensity
on the streets that we would consider necessary for a modern
street lighting system.
Mayo Properties Association agreed -in our conference to pay
for the installation cost of the sidewalk lighting system. The
cost of electrical current and maintenance for this street
lighting system then becomes a, problem, for the reason that
eventually the property in this Addition will revert to
individual owners making it impossible to set up any sort of
charge for the energy. As a solution, it was
suggestion that the City in view of the fact that the total
lighting in the area would be the same would -absorb this cost.
Summarizing our Department can lay out a. system in which
the total energy and maintenance cost for this Addition for
both the street lighting and sidewalk lighting will be
approximately the same as if a modern street lighting system
were laid out to light both the street and paralleling
sidewalks.
Respectfully submitted,
Lee M. Nelson
Supt. of Utilities"
