Synopsis
Excerpt from A Compilation of the Records of the Colorado Springs Lighting Controversy: With an Introduction and Epitome
The controversy between the City of Colorado Springs, Colo rado, and the Pike's Peak hydro-electric Company of the same city, has become memorable because it decided for the first time in a judicial way three questions of importance to those engaged in the business of electric lighting.
First: The meaning of the phrase An arc light of standard candle-power.
Second: The monetary damage accruing by the substitution of a ampere series alternating - current arc lamp for an arc light of standard candle-power.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a controversy between the City of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Hydro-Electric Company over the interpretation of a clause in a city ordinance. The ordinance, known as the Jackson Franchise, was granted by the City of Colorado Springs in 1898 for 25 years to one George W. Jackson, and by him assigned to the Pikes Peak Hydro-Electric Company. The franchise gave the grantee the use of the City's water supply for the purposes of power generation and also stipulated that the grantee would, in return, furnish to the grantor for electric lighting, arc lights of standard candle power at the rate of $60 per annum. The controversy arose over the interpretation of the phrase "An arc light of standard candle power." The city argued that the lights furnished by the company were not of the required candle power, while the company maintained that they were. The case was eventually submitted to arbitration. The arbitration board ruled in favor of the city, finding that the company had not provided lights of the required candle power and awarding the city damages. The book provides a detailed account of the controversy, including the testimony of witnesses and the arguments of attorneys. It also discusses the broader historical context of the controversy, including the development of electric lighting and the role of municipalities in regulating public utilities.
