STREET LIGHTING
NEED FOR IMPROVEMENTS. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, September 26. Contending at the conference _of Power Board and Supply Authorities’ Engineers to-day that money spent for such purpose would constitute a fair claim on the Highways Fund for a subsidy, Mr H. F. Toogood suggested that the time had arrived for scientific lighting of the highways in New Zealand, particularly the illumination of. certain parts of the main roads at approaches to cities. The suggestion followed the reading of a paper on street lighting by Mr J. R. Templin, Christchurch, who asserted that in the matter of street lighting, New Zealand was well behind the times. The conference heartily endorsed the views expressed by Mr Toogood.
