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.

He described the muddy condi- tion of the road to and about the air port at the time of the first graduation, and compared it with the lovely paved roads and sirceis throughout the station and which join the station with the main highway.

The results of the past 6 1-2 months should show that this statement was not as ridiculous its it seemed at that time, "The total cost of installing traffic lights at the three inter- sections was 33,464.40 while the not credit to the meter account is 33,169.02 and by placing this credit against the traffic light ac- count we have a Dr. balance in the amount of only 5315.38. The cost of electric current averages approximately 54.00 per month for each intersection. "Meters and traffic lights are it liability to the police department and it is only a matter of book- keeping as to how and where the credits are placed. But I will make the prediction that two years from now the t will be completely amortized. "Our ordinary expenses for the year was 342,182.94 and exceeds our estimates by 3700.94, The cost of civic administration. like all other business, has been steadily increasing each year. and it is dif- ftcuit to budget accurately a year fn advance. our staff all received an increeifo in salary of approxim- ately ten per cent during the year.
