At the council meeting Monday night
Alderman Saunders gave notice that
at tho next meeting he would intro
d,ee q new ordinance. granting per-
mission 10 the telephone company to
run its wires underground. Samuel z.
Watson. superintendent Of the COM
pany. who has Just returned from .
two months trip through the East, l.
reported as saying that his company
is not only willing, but anxious. 20 put
its " Tres underground. provided they
can get an ordinance not altos ,ther
oLeslded.
Why willing? Why anxious: These
questions should be carefully eonsid-
cred by every alderman before any
ordinance TO tear UP our streets u
given TO any Individual or corporation.
No great desire or even Willingness to
go underground Ia shown by any other
company having wires or poles on our
streets. and as everyone Is more or less
selfish. it Is Just to conclude that there
must be some good reason why this
company desires, at this time, TO get
tie wires buried In the streets OF Graz !
Rapids. It is very probable that the
true inwa-dncss Of the desire to go un-
foreground at this time. IL to be found
In the fact that the main patents on
the Bell telephones expire in March,
1898. It may or may not be, that
ordinance giving this compaoy rights
I'd go underground In our streets,
would help TO fortify them against
competition. but as was said before.
there must be some good reason for the
asking. or the company would not be
20 persistent In its demands for an
ordinance.
The council should also zee that the
ordinance. II granted, u not alto
gether onesided." for the company. In
the recent ordinance prepared by Mr..
Watson. OF at hds direction, the COM
pany was given the privilege Of going
into any street by simply giving
twenty-four hours notice to the Board
OF Public Works OF their intention
When the ordinance II granted. Y at
all, It should retain to the council the
power to refuse permission to enter
any street where the circumstances
would warrant such refusal. Mon
roeAst., Canal-st., Pearl-st.. In fact
any street that Is permanently and
extensively improved, should not be
xnolested for any one
Again the council, and not the COM
pany. should be the judges OF the nee
essity OF underground work. When
wires become obnoxious in any neigh
borhood. or too numerous for safety
or the beauty OF a street. It should
rest with the Common Council to de-
eide whether or not they shall go un-
foreground. Unless the city through
Its representatives can retain this pre-
rogative. the city has more to lose
than gain through the granting OF the
ordinance asked for.
