SPAIN BLOWS UP
ELECTRIC LIGHTS
IlErORT OF EXPERT IN MAT
TER OF CANDLE POWER.
J, II. Spain the Electrician Appoint
ed by Mayor Ilailoy,on tho Author
ity of Councils Submits a Report
in Which Ho Says There Is Not
an Arc Light of 2000 Candle Power
in tho Whole City, and That tho
Avoingo Is from 20 to 60 Per
Cont Below That Mark.
J. H. Spiiln, nf Duninoro, the electri
cal expert appointed to investigate nnd
leport on the quality of light bulns
furnished the city, made his report to
.Mayor llalley yesterday. The con
tract calls for L',000 candle-power, but
Kxpert Spain says there Is not n. lis.it
In the city of thnt capacity nnd that
the average Is 23 to SO per cent, below
that. The report reads as follow:
ScraMon. Pa.. March sri, 1W.
James O. llalley, Mayor, and S icet and
1 omniun councils, scrauton. la.
llcntlenicu: This nport Is respectfully
submitted In compliance with your con
curre nt resolution as follows. apjiroed
February !', lsw.
"Itcsolved, Hv the select council of the
city of Scrauton, the common council
c.mcutrliig. that the mayor be and he Is
her"by authorized to engage an expert
and have the city dectrle lights furnish--,!
tho city tested, showing their actual
cindle-power ami report to councils i.t
the earliest date."
My commission Iss-ucd by the major
nnd authorizing me to do tin- woik In
dicated In the foifgolrg was received
March L".'. mi.
In mnklug the tests 1 did not select nnv
particular locality or lamps, but made
tho tests In Green lllilge, Providence,
the West Side, the South Side and In the
vicinity of the Moses Taylor hospital.
Owing to rainy and unfavorable weather
I was prevented from making tests In
the business stctlon of the city on Tues
day night of this week.
1 have made n record, which Is Includ
ed In this report, of the tests made. With
exceptions so f, w as to scarcely need
mentioning, tho lamps tested were of th"
average brilliancy In the particular lo
calities where the tests wore made,
NOT ON12 LAMP.
Of the sixteen tests made and recorded
herewith, t failed to find one lamp of nn
nverago 2,ik) candle power. With one ex
ception they averaged from 23 to to per
cent, less than the 2.0OO candle power
mentioned. The minimum candle power
of threo of the lamps tested was In each
case more than r.0 prr cent, lcsr than L'.O'JO
candle power, viz., Sanderson avenue and
Mast Market street, Mylert avenue and
Oreen Hldge street, Plttston avnne and
Alder street.
In some Instances 1 found thnt the max
imum amount of Debt furnished was
nearly If not quite 2.000 canule power, hut
tho average of these particular lamps
was less than thai owing to the increased
presence of minimum power as compared
with the maximum. In considering this
and other comments It must be taken
Into consideration that the tests were
mado direct from the lamp termln;.ls,
but that tho deposits of tilth and carbon
In the globes decreased, of course, tho
amount of light to a point below tho
figures actually Incorporated In this re
port. Tho globes of all tho lamps tested
were very dirty.
The malorlty of the lamps vin-n ad
justed over a very wide range of volt.v;o.
In some cases the vnilatlon exceeded one
half the capacity of the lamps at their
highest point. The variation In the. volt,
age of a properly nd.luited series arc lamp
seldom exceeds live volts, and Is so ar
ranged lis to be the maximum voltage of
the lamp, the maximum being the rated
capacity of the lamp. As the candle
power varies with the voltage it is im
perative that elo.-e adjustment be ob
served In older to obtain proper results.
As you will note in the attached detailed
record of lamps tested this close adjust
ment was entirely lacking. This fault to
gether with tho general reduction of the
voltage Is responsible lor the average low
etllclency shown.
CONCUSSIONS MAt)i:.
In computing the candle powir of the
lamps I have made two very Important
concessions in favor of the system:
(li I have assumed that the average
was ;i 3-le, which Is tin. standard and
which. I belleMi, Is claimed for the ss
tern under discussion In this report.
(2). 1 ass-limed that the carbons wer
perfect.
Huth of Hie above ate very Important
points and II not as stated the candle
ixiwvr hereinafter meiitlotn d would bo
further 1 educed In proportion to a glu n
lower amperage ami aocoi dims to
tlm quality of the carbons. 1 had no
means of lnfr.itning myself in these u
spects without Interfeilng with the con
struction of the s.isteni. but in the ib
sence of tho information I have given
the system tho benefit of all doubt.
A comment, perhaps not wholly iw-e-nnry
to this report ibut .suggesu d.
novel thele.-s, by the absence of informa
tion as to power at a plant, might prop
erly be made as follows for tho Infor
mation of councils: As the lated capac
ity of it siiles arc dynamo Is In voltage
ami amperage at a given horse power
and speed. It makes no material diffi r
enco In cost whether this elect tic ote-igy
Is dl'-trubuted through ten lamps at lull
caudle power or twenty lamps tit half
candle power. In tlm expense of operat
ing the ten or I went v lamps the only tn
crease for the latter would be for car
bons. Following: Is the i.fip nf tlm les'.s

GENEROUS PAU10UNT0N.
If a Pending Contest in Fell Results
in Hie Favor, He Voluntarily
Ronouncos All Claim to
the Ofilce.
I',. Palmoiintoti, hit candidate for
school director In Fell township, Is
nothing If not generous,
He was defeated and a contest was
begun against the successful candidate,
Thomas Hetinlug. by John Owen, who
charges that all kinds and mnnner of
queer doings in the way of receiving
and recording votes were Indulged In
at the February election In Fell.
Does .Mr. Pulinounlon believe tilts?
Not a bit of It.
He doesn't want the court t believe
It, either, and so he presented n paper
to the court yesterday that rallies as
the ehlefest novelty In the archives of
the county.
There was no fraud practiced at the
election, wijs Mr. Palmoumun. Every
thing wits fair and regular, and he is
conlldeiit that he was beat honestly ani
squarely. If there were Irregularities
of any kind he saw and heard nothing
of them.
Hut this is not all Mr. Palmounton
said. Listen to this:
"If this contest should show that 1
am elected, I voluntuilly waive and re
nounce! any light that I niny have to
said office by reason of the same."
That Is the romnrkahle manner In
which Mr. Pntniotinlon concludes his
statement. Could generosity prompt
him to do more?
Mr. Helming is not wholly satisfied
that this will entliely dispose of Un
contest, for In- has taken the precaution
to lib- an answer to the contest petition
of John Owens. In which he denies the
charges of fraud on his part but al
leges many forms of Illegal acts on the
part of Mr. Owens.
Nicholas illymi. whose election ns
Justice of the peace of Fell Is contested
by Thomas Holmes, also filed his
answer yesterday.
