ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES (*HELV) illr Change To SHELL STOP AT TOUR SHELL STATION FOR ECONOMICAL SERVICE Humphries Oil Co Tree Trimming Necessary When Wires Are Near I ! Proper trimming of trees locat ed near electric utility wires is : absolutely necessary to provide continuous service to customers I and to prevent injury to the pub | lie from falling wires, T. Miller I White, manager in this district j for the Cardlna R:wer and Light company, said today. “It is necessary for a public ut ility company such as ours to trim trees along company lines to pre vent contact of (branches with , their wires, and to prevent over- I hanging limbs and dead branches from falling over the line,” said Mr. White. Branches coming in contact with the line cause interruption of electric service and it is of re cord that a single limb falling across a line can stop service to several towns, he added. “Trees are not trimmed primar ily to protect our wires,” Mr. White added, “but eur company engages trained tree surgeons to do this work so we can provide continuous service to our custom ers and also protect the general public from falling wires.” Mr. White said his company not only maintains a highly trained crew of tree trimmers, but that the famed Davey tree trimming concern in Ohio is under contract with the company to supply train ed tree surgeons from, time to time as they are needed. “Our men as well as the Davey men make effort to trim trees in such a manner that they will not be harmed,” said Mr. White. “We do our utmost to do the kind of trimming that will not injure shade trees and at the same time we endeavor to guard against any damage that might easily result by trees coming in contact with our lines.” The Carolina Power and Light company, Mr. White said, always endevors to obtain full 1 aproval of municipalities and property own ers (before engaging in any tree trimming.
