The Telephone Wire Nuisance.

Owners of city buildings will, rs q body,
sympathize with Mr.. JoHN S. KENNEDY in
his resistance to the attempted intrusion
upon his residence by the American Tele.
phone Company. The high.handed way in
which, without permission, the workmen Of
the company usually invade houses, tramp
over roofs, attach wires to chimneys and
walls, and, in general, make use of any
part of n building that serves their pur.
pose, requires, once in a while, a check.
That Mr.. KENNEDY has been obliged to go
to the expense and the trouble, In his case,
of obtaining an injunction from a court of
law, makes him only the moro deserving of
commiseration.
On the other hand. the Telephone Com.
pany can truthfully say that the trespasses
Il commits upon private property are forced
upon 1t by the demands of its customers.
Mr.. KENNEDY himself, IL he wants tele.
phone service, cannot get 1t unless the
wires which connect him with the rest of
the. telephone.using world are, in some
places, carried over roofs n through back
yards very much in the same way as that
which he now objects to. 1t is a give-and-
