Mr. E. T. Coghill, superintendent
of the Telephone .Exchange here
has sent in a communication to the
Board of Aldermen,, for considera
tion at the regular -meeting on the
first Monday in January, calling at
tention to the rather indiscriminate
wayin which the telephone and elec
tric light wires are getting mixed up
here. We append an amendment
and suggest that the Board take the
buli by the horns, promptly and at
once, and require all wires put un
der the ground. The necessity for
this is already becoming apparent
and in a few years' time, at recent
rates of progression, it will be found
absolutely necessary to do this.
