Title: [MBSB21579], Interview, Sherburne Blake Eaton, March 6th, 1881
Editor's Notes: Eaton interview for (NY) Truth about NYC lighting. Surveys of gas users. Electric power to replace steam and animal power still used in Manhattan. Co to avoid streetlighting, concentrate on greater number of domestic lamps. No personal danger from touching wires accidentally, since current not strong as in Brush system.
