UGLY ELECTRIC po1Fs.
| In Richmond there is q city ordinance
] when requires corporations and companies
using wires through the streets to use the
same poles. This prevents an accumulation
] OF poles on the streets.
The Manchester Council thinks it best that
each company pat mp It's own poles. and after
awhile Hull street viii be as full of electric
wire poles as Semmes street now is Of yellow
mud.
There seems to be No rule as 10 what kind
of poles are 70 lie used and while some are
of nice Octagon shape. Others have no form
Of cOmeiness about them. On the contrary,
they are OF q very Ungalnly appearance. and
from the crookedness OF some seem to have
been cut from a forest over which had swept
many a tornado.
