lighting problems solved by the Department.
The Transit Rate Increase Records include copies of the applications along with such additional material as
transcripts of public hearings, reports to the Department, correspondence, and testimony and other
documentation in support of and in opposition to the increases requested. These records include fare
increase requests by both New Orleans Public Service, Inc. on the East Bank of the River and Westside

The Underground Wiring Project Records include correspondence, reports, regulations, etc., relating
mainly to the subject of the institution of electrical wiring in new subdivisions. In addition to general
