From long experience. she says, II have

UNDERGROUND WIRES.

1t is trite enough to observe that II
| telegraph, telephone and trolley wires

tho ground just whom they are most
needed in their proper place.
| 1t Is not understood that there Ia any
| objection to taking the wires off the poles
| and burying them except on account of
| the cost. 1t certainly would be an OK
| pepsive job to make the transfer, but II
| would seem to the inexpert at least that
the expense would be recovered in very
few years by reason OF the exemp ption
| from the sort Of caretakipg that overhead
wires require and security TO the property
upon occasions OF a heavy storm like that
Of yesterday. The loss by suspension OF
business enforced by one days wreckags,
like that OF yesterday, Is tremendous,
and to b, fTeo from like disaster would.
we should say, go n gooc, way toward
meeting the expense Of burying the wires.
In so far, Of course, as tho telegraph,
telephone and trolley corporations are
seini-public in their nature, possessed Of
rights and privileges granted them with
the distinct understanding tnat they
shall serve the public through stress of
storm as in fair weather, 1t is a bounden
duty that the construction be- made so So
cure as to guarantee Its efficiency at all
times. As n matter OF fact, ii Is just
such conditions "a are made by big
storm that particularly demand that the
telegraph. telephone and trolley be In
good running order, while experience has
demonstrated that ID IL just at such n
time that they foil disasIorsly to meet
the requirements OF the public. When
they are most badly needed they fail ut
tsrly. But. quite apart from this view Of
IL, IL would seem to le a really paying
Investment 10 the corporations 10 bury
the wires
or course. so long as municipal
corporation, the city of Providence, for
instance, neglects to bury It's fire wires
there Is hardly consistent ground for
complaint at the corresponding neglect
on the part OF the other corporations e1-
cent from the view point Of self Interest.
OF all the possible em mpnrrsssments from
overhead wires wrecked by a storm moth
ing could be so thestening ns the possible
disaster from having tho FIRE service
knocked out
some day tho unsiRhtly and ridlculonsly
helpless mare of wires that torment the

be found intact when most wanted.
