Record A ditch in 1919—a boulevard today IT is hard to. believe, but e n c o u r a g es a nd enhances the value of homes. t r a de t r u e. T he u g ly ditch the p i c t u r e- s h o wn in marked "1919" and the broad, well lighted boule vard shown in the upper picture are one and the same. Do such improve ments cost money—or do they actually save it? No other municipal improve ment can pay for itself so quickly as do well lighted streets. Thanks to the pro gressive efficiency of the electric light and power companies, and of the illuminating engi neers of the General Electric Company, the cost of electric light today (as you see from the little chart at right) is actually less than it was before the war. Use more electricity indoors and out. T he a n s w er is most encouraging. Good street light ing reduces acci is a d e n ts and deterrent of crime. It a t t r a c ts a nd [ And yet, with all its bene fits, and with the increase in p r o p e r ty v a l u a t i o ns which it brings, good street 'lighting costs as little as $1.50 to $2.50 per capita per annum.
