This relic is large solid silver cup with

"A premium from the Agricultural Socie-

Just under the word jackass is a pic

eager many people are to take advantage

chance.

In fact, the amount of rubbish offered
comprised everything from pin said to

IRON TROLLEY WIRE POLES.
A Suggestion That They he Substi-
tuted for Wood Poles.


The City and Suburban railway is put
ting up, or rather is preparing to put up,
new trolley wire poles along its lines.
Wood poles are unsightly and ugly
enough, at their best. as trolley wire poles
but those strung along the streets and
about to be put up are a shade uglier than
those now in use.
The proper pole to be used, and that
which is being required in many cities. is
an iron pole with bracket extending over
the track from the side of the street
The suggestion has been made that in
stead OF requiring new iron poles all at
once in place Of the wood poles. when
ever a wood pole becomes UNIT for use.
as many of them are that are now stand
ing, they be replaced with iron poles.
This would not require so large an outlay
as the substitution of new poles along the
entire lines and ultimately only iron poles
would be in use
The iron pole would lessen the danger
of falling trolley wires caused by the
breaking of poles and would remove from
the streets an unsightly Obstruction
