RANDALL'S ISLAND. Cost of power as computed from inventory figures and other available sources of information, 4.1 cents per kilowatt-hour. Voltage, 225. Lamps of rated voltage 230 are operated. In general a first-class carbon lamp of voltage 225 is recommended. In the chapel 2000 watts in 70, 115 or 180 watt 230 volt Tungsten lamps might be placed as an experiment, provided the fixtures are arranged so that the lamps can burn tip down. Forty-five watt, 230 volt Tungsten lamps might be tried in the wall fixtures at the entrance. The superintendent expressed a desire to try the Tungsten lamp in this place. Tests of 220-volt Tungsten lamps at the bureau of standards have not been sufficiently extensive to warrant a recommendation of this lamp to any particular service. B. and M. 225-volt carbon lamps, with filaments anchored to the bulb, are uniform and satisfactory as regards life performance. S. W. STRATTON, (Signed) September 29, 1910. Director.
