Mr. Roberts:‘‘ I was surprized in 
driving to Topsfield to find these same 
boulevard lamps you offer us. I think 
the lights are excellent, but I do think 
it is peculiar that boulevard lamps are 
installed there in the woods, while we 
are privileged with only a few here.” 
Mr. Garcia: ‘* Whenever we install 
new lights we put in boulevard lamps, 
but here you had the square lamps, 
and when we renewed a contract for 
only one year we did not install all 
boulevard lamps.”’ 
Moderator: ‘ What is the percent- 
age of cost with cost of electricity?” 
Mr. Garcia: “ Our lights are 20 to 
25 per cent. less.” 
Mr. Garcia explained that existing 
conditions were due to no fault of the 
service. The man who had been ap- 
pointed to do the lighting did very 
well at first, and then gave it to a boy 
and poor service was the result. An 
effort was made to remove him, but 
each time too much pressure was 
brought to bear. The service would 
be no worse than the past year. 
Mr. Knight: ‘Is it a fact that you 
limited him to a certain number of 
mantles each month ?”’ 
Mr. Garcia: ‘‘ No, sir; that was 
utterly false. We do not limit our 
lights. Our instructions are to keep 
everything in perfect condition.” 
Robert Mitchell: “That contract 
says the lamps shall be lighted 26 
nights of the month. Do I understand 
that if the other nights are dark we are 
to be in darkness ?”’ 
Mr. Swett explained that on stormy 
and dark nights, when no- provision 
for lighting was made, the company 
would have the lamps lighted, the 
expense of the same to be at the same 
rate as for other nights of the month.
