]. G. Dawes of the Baltimore & Ohio says:
"0ur company Is not squarely opposed to
putting wires under ground in the city. We
only ask that it be done gradually. Grant
the franclt;e and secure competitive tele-
graphy first. Then, If the council sees fit,
order the wires under ground a block at q
time. We shall have twelve miles of wire in
the city; to put them all under ground al
once would require q barrel of money and
several months delay. 1t would be as big q
job as digging sewer for the same distance
Let the council order the wires down gradu-
ally, beginning with those blocks aud streets
where they are thickest."
