Leverett House began an experiment yesterday to lessen a reported $38,000 electric light bill caused by spotlights in the Tower windows. Members of the House maintenance crew unscrewed 198 150-watt light bulbs in the windows of one Tower wall and substituted 75-watt bulbs.
The Tower panel with 75-watt lighting will be compared with another using 150-watt bulbs "to see whether the effect is any different," according to John J. Conway, Master of Leverett House.
Conway denied a report by a local radio station that the 150-watt bulbs were a fire hazard.
