PRESENT STREET LIGHTING:
In consideration of the current energy crisis and at the direction of
the Light and Power Conunittee,we have reviewed the present street
lighting as is now installed.We have considered both the safety effect
as well as the aesthetic effect that will result in disconnecting cer
tain street lights.
The street lighting map shows the lights suggested to be disconnected (q).
The wattage to be disconnected amounts to the following:
45 —250 watt lights —11,250 watts
39 —400 watt lights —15,600 watts
1 -500 watt light -500 watts
27,350 watts
The disconnected wattage would amount of 27,350 watts or 2O7 of the total
street lighting (136,550 watts).
NEW STREET LIGHTING:
This Committee suggests a moratorium on the installation of new street lights.
The exception would be lights required for public safety purposes.
