Corporation Counsel BeeBman said yesterday that
before taking any action as suggested by the mayor
in his recent communication regarding the removal OF
the poes and wires Of electric companies through tho
Intervention of the courts, he thought It best TO find
out exactly what objections the companies had to using
tho subways. For that purpose Mr.. BesAman SAID
that he had begun consultations with representative
of the electric companies. One reason gwen by them
for not using the conduts was thai While they could
srere no aieculty in getting the wires into them, the
trouble was TO Get them ont The only means they
had for reaching their customers was through the man
holes at tho intersections of the streets II Gus
toner was IN tho middle of block they could not
supply him. Mr. Bcelnnsn hoped to make SAILS
factory arrangement by the electric companies and the
construction company together uniuns upon a pan'
,,h th annrova NJ the Board OF Electrical Control
which would result fl getting all tho dangerous wires
