- Opening adddress by the Mayor (Councillor D. L. Lipson, M.A): "... Public
lighting engineers could rightly be called "artists," for surely artists were those
who revealed to us beauties which, although they existed, we were unable to see before.
Certainly even to those who had lived in Cheltenham all their lives and who had
thought that they had known their public buildings well the lighting had revealed
beauties which they did not realise were there. Therefore public lighting engineers
could rightly claim to be producers of beauty." This was followed by a brief talk given
by Sir Charles Bressey, C.B. on behalf of the Ministry Of Transport and a
reply of thanks by Immediate Past President Mr. A. Maurice Bell.
(Sir Charles Bressey, C.B. was the Chief Engineer to the
Ministry, the officer responsible for the future layout of the roads converging upon the Metropolis.)

- A message from the Rt. Hon. Leslie Hore-Belisha was read by the President.
"... As for safety, you secure it in two ways. You bring the evil doer into
relief and make his sinister intentions harder to fulfil, and you give us a
visibility which diminishes the risk of accident. In this sphere also may
you bring us even greater benefits! ... I appreciate the help your members
have given, both corporately and in many cases individually, in the work
of the Departmental Committee
which is now considering the question of street
lighting."

- Cheltenham 1936: Some Reflections by Captain W. J. Liberty p76
- 500-600 Members, Delegates and others attended the conference. Liberty suggests that
the increasing interest in public lighting is due to the extended use of the highways by the
increase of "mechanically-propelled traffic." He then briefly outlines the events of the Conference.
He considers the conference the best yet, especially for the outside display of
road lighting throughout the town.
- "What makes the Association Conferences somewhat different from
other conferences is that with the A.P.L.E. Conference the town enters into it. It is
not a Conference behind closed doors, the public
are invited to the Exhibition. It is also in the
thoroughfares. The "man in the street" also has a
part in it, the ratepayer, shopkeeper, and the
residents all take part, as was evidenced by the
crowds that thronged the principal thoroughfares
until nearly midnight to view the excellent street
lighting, the flood-lighting of the principal buildings,
churches, flower gardens and fountains, truly, as
one remarked, "a city of light." So eagerly had the
Conference been anticipated that the railway and
coaching companies had made special arrangements
for bringing the people in from the surrounding
towns and taking them home at a late hour. So
great was the crush nightly to view the illuminated
interior of the Parish Church that the doors had to
be closed upon crowds of disappointed sightseers.
On one evening, I am informed, 1,500 passed
through the doors. The municipal season was also
extended one week beyond the usual time, and the
military band retained over that period, whilst the
coach excursions followed suit; in fact, the county
of Gloucester seemed to have entered into the
proceedings."
- "It was my privilege to remain in Cheltenham after
the Conference, and the members had departed, and
so great was the interest displayed by the public in
the street lighting and flood-lighting that it was
decided to continue the same over the weekend, and
a Special Service was held in the flood-lighted Parish
Church at 9.30 p.m. on the Sunday following the
Conference."
- "I understand from the local Press, published since
the meeting, that the special street lighting is to
remain in operation until the end of the month. It
is understood that the contractors have consented
to this with the purpose of allowing the Cheltenham
Electricity Committee to view the installations with
a view to purchase, following the grant of £500
voted by the Town Council recently."

- A continuation of the discussion of the paper Electric Street Lighting Progress by
W. J. Jones, M.Sc.. Gregory argues for an extention of lighting
hours, not from financial considerations but on sociological grounds. He summarises that
one could obtain approximately double the lighting hours for an addition of only
25% of the total cost.

- Description of how a light is lit in the hall of a house in Temple, London,
which marks an ancient privilege and right of way. It is maintained by
Westminster City Council and not the tenant of the house. The lamp lighter
enters at twelve midnight and kindles the light and on his round in the early
morning he re-enters with a latch key and extinguishes it. The light is the
remaining symbol of a right of way formerly enjoyed by the residents of
that small street, giving them the power of proceeding to a spring of water
in the basement of the particular house which was at one time their sole water
supply.
