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.
