NEW PLYMOUTH ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
OFFICIAL OPENING ON FUIDAW The lirst complete test of the whole of the Xew Plymouth electric street lighting system was made on Wednesday evening at dusk. The current was turned 011 to one circuit after another, from the substation, until i the whole of the street lights were 111 operation. Although it was still far from dark, a very fair estimate of the brilliancy of the light from the large arc lamps in Devon street could be made. Everything in connection with the trial worked without a hitch, and only the final touches, to ensure permanency, require lo be made in some few cases in connection with the wiring. The power-house and sub-station ollicials are now prepared to coin-' i.nence the duties at any time, everything being completed. The official opening and the ceremonies have been lixed for Friday afternoon and evening and it is hoped that the light will be continuous thereafter.
