USE or THE HIGHWAYS.
Attorney Thomas Opinion On the
Removal of Trolley Pole.

Attorney Thomas Opinion On the
Benluval OF Trolley Pole,
Mr.. 5. 7. Thomas, the attorney for thc
Districtreudered several opinions Yesterday
on ltistriJt matters. Among theni one re-
lating tOa trolley poleo wned by the George
town and TenIeytown Railway Company,
standing in the roadway or Thirty seventh
stgeetand Tenleytown Road, in Georgetown
is OF some general interest.
The pole is an obstruction 10 travel, ard
the Commissioners wished Mr.. Thomas to
tell them if they had right 10 remove
it. AIr Thoma said:
Tie right OF way granted by Congress
TO the Georgetown ana 1enIeytown Rail
way Company and the incidental right 20
erect electric railway poles is subordinate
TO the use Of the highway for public travel
TIE poles mast, therefore, be 30 placed q
not 10 incontmode the Use of the highway
for the purpose for which it was origi-
nally designed, that is travel by the public.
A slight obstruction is, of course, neces-
sary wherever a pole is placed. This is
not an obstruction of travel, but, where a
pole, es III this case, is so placed as sub
staatia!ly to interfere with the use Of
the highway for travel by the public, it
Is a nuisance, and should be removed
IL does not appear from the pa Ears
before me how the pole was originally
located. If the Commissioners permitted
ii To be located where it Is, the authority
should be revoked and the company aoti-
fled, and 0n Its failure to reiocat te the
pole az directed by the CommissioneFs
they have the right 70 remove q a. 2
dangerous obstruction to the use of the
street.

helped to send up prices. 1t is perfect

barrassing questions are put to them in
regard to the opening of factories, the
increase in wages and the revival Of

miles Of ocean and plains and forests
and one morning entered the window of

message which she had been awaiting
so anxiously. We boast of human pluck,
sagacity and endurance, but this loving
little carrier pigeon, in its homeward
fight, after an absence of 80 months,
accomplished feat so wonderful that
