Extended "alley-arm" crossarms supported telephone openwire wires along the left in this photo for safe clearance from adjacent tree foliage and buildings (as seen in the background).

A very nice looking arc light illuminated this community's business district. It was mounted on a span wire that crossed this road with electric lighting lines also seen along the right side of this image.
