ONE-WAY STREETS
Improved Lighting
The present lighting in Oneway streets carrying fast-mov-ing traffic was inadequate, the electricity committee reported to the City Council last evening. An experiment in St Asaph Street, between Durham Street and Montreal Street, to determine whether a satisfactory result could be obtained with a relatively cheap design using high lanterns on extension*, mainly on existing poles, on one side of the street only, had been successful, the committee chairman (Cr G. D. Hattaway) reported.
The council decided that Lichfield Street and St Asaph Street, the appropriate parts of Tuam Street and Antigua Street and Oxford Terrace be provided with the type of lighting at an estimated cost of $13,734 this financial year
It was proposed that the same standard of lighting be provided in Madras Street and Barbadoes Street, at a cost of $17,738, but that th* cost for that section would be incurred in the next financial year.
