BARTOW WANTS
WHITE WAY
LIKE
Orlando, Feb. 21. It now develops
that the city of Bartow Is contemplat
ing erecting a white way similar to
the system here. And this decision
has been reached after an investiga
tion of the system at Tampa. Which
Is a rather direct way of saying that
Bartow likes this system the better
of the two. .
A letter concerning the Bartow
plans was addressed from the author
ities of the city to Donald Cheney; of
the Orlando Water and Light Com
pany. And Mr. Cheney turned the
letter over to Inspector Vincent H.
Green.
Commenting upon the difference be
tween the white way system as adop
ted here by comparison with the one
in Tampa, Mr. Green said the advan
tage was in favor of the local system,
which he said developed five times
the lighting qualities for one-fifth the
cost. And he - insisted that the com
parlson was conservative.
The Tampa model is a five cluster
light, while the Orlando model Is a
Ringle globe. "The flvo cluster light
sounds good." said Mr. Green, "but
has been proved antiquated, and
many towns are junking the materi
al and installing the one-globe sys
tem, such as we have.
The difference between the two is
extremely technical, but can be com
prehended In a general way by the
statement that the farther removed
the lights from the transformer in the
cluster system the more the current
is lessened and dimmer the light be
come. Whereas In the single globe
system the current Is uniform.
Concerning the extent of our sys
tem by comparison with that of Tarn
pa, Mr. Green declared that we have
actually more white way mileage than
the larger city. Orlando actually has
three miles of white way cable, em
bracing 156 lights in the business dis
trict alone.
"And we have more around our
lakes than are on the famous shore
boulevard at Tampa," Mr. Green as
serted. There are thirty-four lights around
Lake'Eola, thirty-six on Lucerne,
eight on Lake , Cherokee and fourteen
on Lake Dot.
