LIGHTING OF HIGHWAYS
SUGGESTION BY ENGINEERS.
NEW ZEALAND BEHIND TIMES.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night.
Contending at the conference of power board and supply authorities engineers to-day that money spent for such a purpose would constitute a fair claim on the highways fund for subsidy, Mr. H. F. Toogood suggested that the time had arrived for the scientific lighting of the highways in New Zealand, particularly the illumination of certain parts of main roads at the 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.
