Hi Edgar,
I understand that the position of the new lights were planned and also
put on an already existing Municipality map probably by your grand
father or one of his aids. The then already existing lights in the
central parts should be seen also. I wonder how many of the dark
points are lights or added buildings in a certain period.
Anyhow the map tells a part of the story of the town.Very much enjoyed
it. And please check on your next walk how many of the electric poles
are still in the same position and may be of the material used for the
lamps in 1913.
Best from Haifa,
Berti.
