UNDERGRoUND WIRES NOW.
The New System of $. n. Il. Telephone
Company Briefly Described.

The overhead telephone wires are
gradually disappearing, thanks to the
new system now in use by the South
ern New England Telephone company.
Out of the ZOO stations connected with
the New Haven switch bosrd, about $40,
or 20 per cent, have been put in con-
nection by underground wires, and
within the next year every subscriber
within half mile of the office will be
connected in the same manner. The
local company is the only one in the
county that has made use of this sys-
tenn, but as it has proved very success
full here it's adoption is probably only a
matter of time in other large cities.
The system, which is a very simple
one, is now in use on Orange street,
from Chapel to Edward street. from
Court to Artizan, from Artizan to
Grand avenue, through Grand avenue
to Railroad avenue, and the company's
men are now working on State street to
Ferry street.
Briefly outlined, the system laid in
Orange street, and soon to be extended
throughout the city, is as follows. At
every street corner is large diStribu-
ton duct from which the block Sec
tions are fed. From the duct section a
three-inch pipe is laid under the pave
ment and at every fifty feet curb lat
eral pipe, 11a inches in diameter, ex-
tends inward from the junction box at
that point, to smaller box just inside
the curbstone. At that point a small
service pipe IL inches in diameter is
run into the subscribers house and
through that pipe the telephone wires
are run. The telephone charges only
for the laying Of the private service
pipes from the curb lateral box. The
duct section at corner man-holes con-
tains four duets, one for distribution
one for the city, and two cable ducts
There is so little to get out of order
that the cost is nominal after the svs-
tenn Is once laid. And what little re-
pair may at any time be necessary to
the copper wires can easily be done by
a system of wire hooks used by the
company All such work can and will
be done without tearing up the streets
at all, as it is only necessary to work
from the man holes or from inside the
curb at the point of the damage at tbe
subscribers house.

Death was probably caused by those
maladies, as he had suffered greatly

neral will take place tomorrow after
