TINKER Fourteen-Year “Hiller” A resident of Richmond Hill uince 1947, the street lighting expert was born in Parkdale. [He joined the Toronto Hydro system in 1924 and spent his first eighteen years with the growing corporation in the pay- master’s section before going to the Emergency Trouble depart- ment. His division operates on I 24-hour basis and is respon- sible for correcting all types of power failures. Five- years ago he was made supervisor of the Street Lighting Maintenance Section.

Tin- ker of 151 Richmond Street. He should know, for he has been intimately associated with Toronto lighting for that time. “We have pretty well eliminated the old type lighting,” he told “The Liberal" this week, adding that it,is only a matter of time before the last of the remaining 400 old-fashioned 1913-type lights in Toron- to Will be replaced by modern fixtures. 35,000 Fixtures To Look After 53‘ N ..

Stan Tinker reiterated. “‘In the old days." he said. “a light was stuck on top of a pole and the light dissipated upward. Later. bracket-held lights ex- tended from the poles. The lights had a simple round metal reflector which. once it became grimy. caused the light to form an ineffectual little yellow pool on the ground. At the same time. the metal reflectors pre- vented the light from doing a good job of illuminating. Then there were the famous old clus- ter lights which had to be turned on and 05 each day.” he recalled. “They were incon- venient and expensive.” Toronto had pioneered the application of modern street lighting, Mr. Tinker declared. He compared itâ€"naturally in Toronto's favourâ€"with other cities. But, he said, there were changes and Toronto’s ekcellent system was having a good eifect on administration elsewhere. The city’s present system in- cludes incandescent luminaires which make use of prismatic glass reflectors, which throw the light the proper distance in the direction required, and a grow- ing use of fluorescent and mer- cury vapour lighting, utilizing 400-watt bulbs. Responsible for Parkway The unique feature of To- ronto's lighting system is the “facade” lighting used on Yonge Street. from Bloor Street to the waterfront. This type of light- ing involves 750-wavtt units mounted on the face of build- ings, doing away with overhead wires. The Tinker responsibilities will also include the Gardiner Expressway lighting and the new Don Valley Parkway. “Eventually,” he says, “a per- son will be able to motor from Toronto to Lake Simcoe on a closed access highway, benefit- ing from as fine a lighting sys- tem as will be found anywhere in the world."

The main matter before the meeting was religious broad- casting. Mr. John Graham, man- ager, and Mr. Vaughan Bierre of station C.J.R.H. were present to explain to the members the policy of the local services at 11.00 am. would be discon- tinued. An offer was made by the station representatives to make available a half hour on Sunday evenings for a religious broadcast, with local clergy tak- ing part. Following the depart- ure of the representatives the meeting voted in favour of ac- cepting the offer, and appointed a small committee to discuss the matter with the station. Vaughan Twp.
