Four of the new posts proposed in San Wa Fong should, however, carry lanterns of the S Welsback pattern involving a monthly cost of upkeep of $3.60 per lamp, and giving a light of 50 to 60 candles.
The Committee further recommend that the ordinary glass tops of streets lanterns be replaced by opal glass as opportunity offers, as this will increase the light by reflection and will not be charged for by the Gas Company.
The Committee would also suggest the lighting of the cable lamps at Hung Hom with gas when it is extended to that village; the same remarks would apply to the lamps at Whitfeild, though the date in that case would appear to be more
remote.
The bulk of the new lights suggested in the City of Victoria would be placed in small lanes and blind alleys, many of them private, but which whether private or public, should, from a police point of view, and for the protection of life and property, be lighted without delay.
