NO DIFFICULTY ABOUT coNDUITs
A General Ordinance May lie Grant

The rumor that the Virginia Electrical
Railway and Development Company has
stolen march or tho city fathers In
regard TO the conduit franchises Is de-
clared 10 be without foundation In fact.
The company was granted the right 10
construct a conduit for its own wires
when II first asked for a franchise. The
privileges they enjoy IN this regard are
I'm no way connected with the application
for franchise to construct a general
conduit made by Mr. Phil. SHIELD and
others. That petition is still lying on the
table, unless IL has been pigeOn-holcd.
IL was abandoned for the time being
IN view Of the strong opposition Of mem
bers OF the Council, who believed that
the city. should own its own conduit.
Under the terms OF the franchise en-
joyed by the Virginia Electrical Rail-
way and Development Company, work
was to be begun on their private conduit
by October lst, this year. Tho matter
was brought up ar recent meeting OK

were presented BY the company. show

Quits in the streets, and tho committee
was asked TO approve these plans.
The matter was laid over Until the next

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets DO this per-

TELEcRAPH POLES.
Mayor Dodge Will Insist Upon Their
Removal from Grafton Street.

Removal from Grafton Street.
Matters relative to the disposition of
the old Western Union pole line in
Grafton street are still. pending.
Mayor Dodge has heard nothing from
the Western Union Telegraph Compa-
ny, but is determined that the tele-
graph company shall live up to its
agreement regarding the disposition of
these poles. According to the order
passed by the city government some
months ago, the company was to re-
move its poles from streets specified as
soon as the underground system was in
working order This order has not
been complied with, and when word
came to the authorities that wires said
to be those of the Massachusetts Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company were
being run on the old poles, an order
went forth to remove the wire and cut
down the poles, a number of which
were in the way of work of the high
way department in Grafton street
Mayor Dodge knows little about the
Massachusetts Telephone Company.
but Will insist on any company that
wishes to run wire through Worcester
getting the necessary permission.
The old pole line which formerly con-
nected Boston and Springfield would
come in handy for the telephone com
pany, but city officials claim that aside
from neglecting to ask a franchise in
the city new line of poles should be
set if they are to be used as the old line
is sadly out of condition.

RETURNS FROM ABROAD.
Misses FIaherty and Mahan Have Had
pheasant Vacation.

Miss Nellie M. Flaherty, stenograph-
er in the city engineers office, city
hall, returned to Worcester Sunday af-
ter a six weeks vacation spent abroad.
Miss Flaherty was accompanied by
Miss Catharine Mahan of this city, and
reports an enjoyable trip. The party of
which the young women formed a part
visited Ireland, England and France,
making a tour of all the principal
points of interest in the Emerald Isle.
While in Paris, Miss Flaherty visited
the exposition grounds and reports the
preparations for the international ex-
hibt as being carried forward on a
grand scale. The United States build
ing is smaller than many of the others,
but a sight of the stars and stripes
floating over it made up for the lack in
size to the travellers In Paris, the
party stopped within a short distance
of the house in which M, Guerin was
fortified during the exciting days of the
Dreyfus trial. Very little was heard of
the trial among the people with whom
Miss Flaherty and her friends came in
contact.
The party arrived on the st. Louis
Saturday, being delayed two days on
account of bad weather.
