"Constable Bishop. who has been given a. course in the supervision and care of meters by the meter company in both their United States and Canadian factories, has spent full time on the job. since the meters have been in operation. but as no appointment. has been made to fill his position on the regular force, and his salary for the year has been included in our estimates, I have not made any charge against the meter account in this report for his services. But if we did charge up his salary for seven months. we would still show a credit balance of approximately 32.000-"

Traffic Lights

"Like parking meters", "traffic lights were sub.'ect to arguments for and against; some claimed our traffic was not sufficient to war- rant them; they would slow up traffic: our blocks were too short. etc. However, the big factor was cost, and it was finally agreed on a cost of approximately 51,000.00 per intersection, Quotations on equipment and installation were -received from the two major sup- ply companies. General and North- ern Electric; also. tenders on in- stallation by local firms. General Electric was slightly lower on supplies and Redmond Electric was the lowest on installation.

"By using existing wooden poles

w-here available. and overhead wiring. we were well below the above-mentioned cost, and our

order was placed accordingly. But on further consultation with the Maritime Electric engineers, sev- eral difficulties arose in regard to using the existing poles. and we decided to order all regular metal standards and underground wiring. which. I believe, was wise. for both apearance and durability, but it did delay installation for about three months?”

"The first shipment to arrive gave us enough material for one intersection which was placed at Elm Avenue and Euston Street. The balance of the materinl ar- rived later and we decided on making the other two installations duringf the long Thanksgiving week end. as the streets would have to be closed to traffic for about 43 hours, The weather turn- ed out to be very bad but our men were undaunlcd. and I would like here to again pay tribute and ex- prose my appreciation to the men who supervised and did the job so faithfully and yvell. some of our business men going to work on Tuesday did not even know the street. had been closed to traffic.

"During the time these lights have been in operation. I believe thy have proved to be worthwhile. Thy relieve police officers for oth- er duties. and do a good . Job of directing traffic. and I would recommend to the incoming coun- cu that they carry on from where we are leaving off. and install

While the decision to enlarge the scope of exceptions was un- animous, commissioner H B. Chase in a separate opinion expressed some doubt as to the need for de- parting from the custom of a uni- form level of increase.

However, he observed that the results could be checked during the iv,-year run of the increases.

Presumably, the whole effect of
