Show An Excellent Improvement. A force of linemen, under the direction of H. Fowler, electrician electric-ian of the Boar Rivor Light & Power Co., are making some oxcollent improvements in tho polo lino of the systom in this city. The poles that heretofore have monopolized tho center of our thoroughfares arc being taken out and the lines erected in the center of the blocks from poles set on the fence lines. This makes our streets free from polo lines with tho ox-potion ox-potion of the lines of tho li. M. B. Tel. Co. and the Farmer's line. We are informed that tho telephone companies intend to inagurato a chango in their polo lines and follow tho example of tho Bear River Light & Power Co. by moving them to tho conter of the blocks. This is a worthy movement and if carried out will bo a great benefit to tho town for a number of reasons. Often buildings ao moved from one part of tho town to another and tho lines being in the center of tho street have hampered their passage as well as interfering with tho lines. Our streets are nono to wido and tho polos in the center of tho streets havo to a certain degree de-gree been a nuisance. Wires dangling overhead, which sometimes some-times become slack and droop down, interfere with loads of hay, etc., and are more ov less dangerous. Tho change will give tho general public clear sailing, to say nothing of the marked improvement it makes in tho looks in our thoroughfares. thorough-fares. We sincerely hope the telephone tele-phone companies will take some action in this matter and act right away. |
