Show Obstructing Streets If not already done the attention of the City Council of this city should be directed to the manner in which the telephone posts are being strung along the streets The posts are placed just where those employ em-ploy ed to set them see fit and if the mathematical location of a pole is right in the street then right in the street the hole is dug and the post planted This matter has been referred re-ferred before Of course the tel ephone exchange is a great benefit to the city and the public should be willing to put up with some inconvenience incon-venience to secure it but that public pub-lic right should be disregarded particularly par-ticularly as those putting the posts up do so for the sake of money and not for the benefit of the public is not the square thing In many parts of the city poles are placed in the street just in that part of the road which a team turning a corner would pass over It is an annoyance annoy-ance in the day time but is more than that at nightit is dangerous The posts could be kept off the streets where they intersect each other without causing any additional addi-tional expense or trouble and some provision should be made compelling compel-ling this to be done |
