by the contractor under this specification shall be the 

 public parks, parkways, playgrounds, athletic fields, or 

 any other public property under the management and 

 control of the Board of Park Commissioners or which 

 may come under its control during the life of this con- 

 tract which the Board of Park Commissioners may see 

 fit to light by electricity, excepting such playgrounds 

 as are lighted during the summer months or playground 

 season only. 



14. Zoning of city. The territory in which all parks, 

 parkways and other public lands to be lighted under 

 this contract are located shall be divided into two 

 districts, to be known as the Underground District and 

 Overhead District respectively. 



15. Underground District. The Underground Dis- 

 trict shall be the territory included within the following 

 boundaries: Freeman Avenue, Liberty Street, Broad- 

 way, Eggleston Avenue, Third Street, Smith Street, 

 Fourth Street, Baymiller Street and Seventh Street. 

 Within this Underground District all lighting under this 

 contract shall be supplied by, and all lamps receive 

 their supply of electrical energy from underground 

 wires, which shall be placed beneath the surface of the 

 street in a system of tubes, ducts or conduits, built in 

 accordance with the most modern and best accepted 

 practice, in order that constant and uninterrupted 

 service may be assured. 



16. Overhead District. The Overhead District shall 

 be the entire City of Cincinnati as it is now, or as it 

 may hereafter be enlarged or extended, remaining out- 

 side of the Underground District, as above described. 

 In the Overhead District all lamps, under this contract, 

 shall be supplied with current by means of overhead 

 wires. Such wires shall be equal in every respect to 

 those used in furnishing current for the street lights of 

 the City of Cincinnati. 



17. Arc lamps. When arc lamps are specified under 

 this contract, they shall be of the same type and equal 

 in every respect to those used for lighting the streets 

 of the City of Cincinnati. Whether iron or wooden 

 poles are used for the support of wires or lamps their 

 appearance shall meet with the approval of the Board 

 of Park Commissioners and they shall be kept painted, 

 maintained and replaced by the contractor. The loca- 

 tion of all poles on park property shall be as directed 

 by the Board of Park Commissioners. 



18. Unit prices for arc lamps. Bidders shall submit 

 a price per lamp per year for arc lamps in the Under- 

 ground District and also a price per lamp per year for 

 arc lamps in the Overhead District. The prices sub- 

 mitted shall include all renewals and replacement of 

 materials, the cleaning of glassware, the painting of 

 both iron and wooden poles, the furnishing of the nec- 

 essary electric power and maintaining the equipment 

 constantly in first-class operating condition. 



19. Tungsten lamps. Tungsten lamps shall be of 

 eighty-watt rating, equipped with radial wave reflec- 



tors and supported by iron brackets secured to the 

 poles. The price bid for tungsten lamps per year shall 

 include the furnishing and maintaining of all equip- 

 ment and the necessary current for operating the lights. 



20. Parkway lights on city-owned equipment. The 

 parkways and park roads in the Overhead District are 

 now lighted by means of incandescent lamps on cast 

 iron standards. Such equipment is the property of the 

 Board of Park Commissioners, but the bidders shall 

 submit a price per lamp per year for each of three sizes 

 of lamps to be used on such city-owned equipment, 

 which price per lamp per year shall include the main- 

 tenance and replacement of all equipment and appara- 

 tus used in connection with such lights, including over- 

 head and underground conductors, cast iron lamp 

 standards, globes and lamps, and the Board of Park 

 Commissioners shall be at no expense whatsoever for 

 lighting on such city-owned equipment beyond the 

 price bid per lamp per year. All such lamps shall be 

 connected in series by an underground cable and the 

 current for such circuit shall be supplied from the near- 

 est overhead wires or the nearest manhole of the con- 

 tractor. Replacements of lamp standards shall be of 

 the same design now in use for such lights or of a design 

 approved by the Board of Park Commissioners. The 

 standards shall be set plumb upon a suitable foundation, 

 the bottom of which shall be below the frost line. 



21. Danger signs. The contractor shall, at such 

 places as may be directed, provide lamps with genuine 

 ruby globes or globes having a genuine ruby band of 

 such dimensions as may be determined by the Board of 

 Park Commissioners.

 Mazda C Class of candle powers specified. They shall 

 be fitted with Mogul screw bases. 



23. Cleaning globes. All globes shall be cleaned at 

 stated periods at least every two weeks. 



24. Lamp renewals. Lamps shall be renewed imme- 

 diately when broken or burned out or when in the 

 opinion of the Board of Park Commissioners any lamp 

 has outlived its usefulness. 



25. Defective equipment. Should any standard, 

 transformer, wire, fixture, support or other appliance 

 become broken, or at any time found to be in a defec- 

 tive condition, such break or defect shall be promptly 

 repaired and remedied by the contractor; but no de- 

 fault on the part of the Board of Park Commissioners 

 to require such repairs or remedy shall relieve the con- 

 tractor of any responsibility in case of accident to per- 

 sons or property by reason of such defective standard 

 or other appliance. 



26. Current. The current supplied for lights under 

 this contract shall at all times be equal in amount and 

 pressure to that furnished for the same type of lamp 

 used by the City of Cincinnati for street lighting.
