The Goldsboro Herald 'Wayne County's Leading Weekly Newspaper" VOLUME XVI, Number 13. Goldsboro, N. C., Thursday, January 12, 1939 PRIC& 5 Cmt Dangerous Type ol Electric Fence Used By Farmers County Electrician Reports Some Farmers Charging ^ Fence from Light Line __ .0 ■ DANGER OF THIS TYPt OF FENCE IS TAujCD Commissioners Giving Warn ing Against Using Fence Which is Dangerous With the Cuming of electric fences to Wayne County within the past several months has come a type of fence ttiat is dangerous to peo ple as well as to animals according to report of (Tone Albert, county in spector, the Bonn! of County Com missioners in meeting here. The danger does not lie in the use of the standout battery charged lecctric fences, Mr. Albert pointed out, but in the custom some few farmers have of charging their fences directly from the* 110 volt lines which supply current for thejr homes and farm buildings. The electrical inspector said he had come across a numtser of farm ers who have their fences connect ed to the 110 volt lines, and at the same time had had reports from various others in the county. It is possible, hefsaid. to charge the fence from regular electric lines, but where this it done a spe cial transformer should be used to step the current down to the pro per'voltage so that is may be effec tive but not dangerous Report of this dangerous use of fencing was reported to the Com missioners with the view of having an article placed in the ordnance ^ overning wiring in rural Wayne h. bunty to prohibit this dangerous practice. "One place I went to.” said Mr. Albert, "a farmer had charged the k fence that went around a tenant's P home on the farm. There was noth ing to keep one of the children from receiving serious injury and pos sible death from a fence charged so hifflily." The CorniiiisKionehs and Mr. Al bert are anxious that this type of fence shall not be used for the sake of people and animals.
