Book excerpt: Excerpt from Street Lighting 1. Preliminary. - It is the purpose of this bulletin to make available information concerning street illumination. The suggestion which led to this compilation came from the many inquiries received by the Electrical Engineering Department each year from those interested in framing ordinances permitting corporations or individuals to operate street lighting systems. An attempt has been made to present this information in such a form as to be readily understood by the general public, without requiring any special technical knowledge. The data have been compiled from reliable sources, and checked in many instances by tests conducted by the writers. This bulletin is designed to be of assistance to central station superintendents, and to the general public in selecting the proper lamp and fixing the charge for the same. It is also designed to be of value to the illuminating engineer and to the manufacturer, and in clearing up, or perhaps in preventing misunderstandings, which so frequently arise between municipalities and power companies. These misunderstandings, being usually the outcome of imperfect knowledge of the effectiveness and limitations of ordinary street lighting units, may readily be prevented if specifications and contracts be made definite and clear. Many contracts are based upon the rates charged in cities of about the same size for the same class of service, regardless of the comparative operating cost of the installation in each case. Many companies do not compute the cost of any one particular branch of their service, but are satisfied if their total yearly balance shows a profit. Other companies, while knowing the cost of operation of the street lights, are still governed by the prevailing rate in similar cities. Thus it is that some companies may furnish the light to the city streets at an actual loss, but are compensated for this loss by special privileges in other branches of the service. It is believed by the writers that fewer misunderstandings would arise between the consumer and the company if each branch of service received its proper compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Street Lighting, Vol. 9 The Engineering Experiment Station was established by action of the Board of Trustees, December 8, 1903. It is the purpose of the Station to carry on investigations along various lines of engineering and to study problems of importance to professional engineers and to the manufacturing, railway, mining, constructional, and industrial interests of the State. The control of the Engineering Experiment Station is vested in the heads of the several departments of the College of Engineering. These constitute the Station Staff, and with the Director, determine the character of the investigations to be undertaken. The work is carried on under the supervision of the Staff, sometimes by research fellows as graduate work, sometimes by members of the instructional force of the College of Engineering, but more frequently by investigators belonging to the Station corps. The results of these investigations are published in the form of bulletins, which record mostly the experiments of the Station's own staff of investigators. There will also be issued from time to time in the form of circulars, compilations giving the results of the experiments of engineers, industrial works, technical institutions, and governmental testing departments. The volume and number at the top of the title page of the cover are merely arbitrary numbers and refer to the general publications of the University of Illinois; above the title is given the number of the Engineering Experiment Station bulletin or circular, which should be used in referring to these publications. For copies of bulletins, circulars or other information address the Engineering Experiment Station, Urbana, Illinois.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamental Street-Lighting: A Municipal Investment and Its Return Consider the case of Minnesota Street, between 4th and 7th Streets in St. Paul. In 1910 it was a gloomy thoroughfare, flanked by dreary buildings, most of them dilapidated. In 1912 it is a prosperous street in which new buildings are taking the place of the old. Good street-lightning and nothing else did that. A hundred towns in the United States and Canada can point to dead Minnesota streets that have been electrified by light into life. Their myriad lamps mean civic pride, prosperity, cleanliness, health, safety, enterprise - everything that a business man expects of the town in which he lives. Good street-lightning pays in dollars and cents - pays tremendously in attracting business, pays in greater real estate values, pays in animating avenues that would die after sunset.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Lighting: By Gas and Electricity The scheme of the present work has been to collect together a series of representative facts relating to the production and utilisation of light for public use, whether by means of coal gas or electricity. In such a connection auxiliary methods, such as the use of acetylene and petroleum, could not be passed over, and therefore are included. It would have been impossible to comprise full details of all adjuncts relating to thwe several subjects within the compass of a volume of the present size, and therefore much interesting matter has necessarily been left out, but it is hoped that the essential features have been indicated with sufficient clearness. The reader who desires to follow the various processes involved in the production of either coal gas or electricity, af r reading the introductory accounts herein given, will doubtless continue their study in the more strictly technical text-books. The accounts given of the results of actual working operations will, it is believed, be of no little interest, particularly the full information afforded in the valuable reports by Mr. Bellamy, City Lighting Engineer of Liverpool, whose work in this direction has deservedly gained the approbation of all those who have followed its progress Probably in no other town has public lighting been more successfully and economically studied and carried into effect. The particulars relating tothe progress which has been made in the production and utilisation of electricity is well exemplified in the case of Bristol, where the important factor of the day-load has received much attention, resulting in a striking success. A feature of the present work which will, it is hoped, be of much assistance to those having charge of public lighting is the valuable series of tables, giving full particulars of the systems employed in a large number of representative towns both in America and England. The author has to express his sincere thanks to the various authorities referred to, who have in every case kindly revised the proof sheets, thereby bringing them up to date and ensuring their correctness. Sincere thanks are due to those gentlemen who have kindly supplied illustrations for the work and assisted with much valuable information.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.
