FULL POWER OF
THE STREETS

The Universal Conduit, Light,
Heat and Power Company has been
granted the privilege to use every
street and alley in the city,. The
permission W as granted to the COM
pany at a meeting of the Street and
Sewer Commission this morning.
The Universal Conduit Light, Heat
and Power Company was recently
chartered with capital stock of
100000. Edmund J. Mitchell is
the president OF the company and
II. H. Billany Is secretary. The
company is backed by capitalists
in New York, Philadelphia and
Pittsburg in addition to the Will
mington capital. The privileges
granted to the Company by the
Street ard Sewer Commission gives
it the right to lay pipes, conduits,
ducts also to erect poles on every
street and alley in Wilmington.
According to its charter and the
privilege granted to-day the Com
pany is empowered to sell gas, cleo
tricity, steam air, and oil for heat,
light and power. The charter gives
the new Company unusual generous
scope and the Street and Sewer
Commission in no way attempted to
curtajl the power in its charter. In
fact the new Company has full
charge of the streets of the city and
can lay its conduits and pipes in
every nook and corner of Winning
ton. President Mitchell in speak
ing of the new Company says that
it means business. The agreement
between the Street and Sewer De-
partment and the Company has
been accepted by the Company and
the new Company will commence
work at once laying conduts. The
granting of the privileges to the
new Company caused considerable
street talk and the operations of
the Company will be watched with
deep interest. By some it was
taken as bold move to control the
bed of streets so that Addicks cam
not get permission to lay his pipes.
He has been trying for years to
get permission to lay his pipes so
that he could furnish gas, but has
been denied the privilege. Under
the right granted TO the new COM
pany, there is very poor show for
him ever laying pipe in Winning
ton. If he ever gets to supply gas,
it must be through this company's
pipes.
Others we're Of the opinion that
there is powerful scheme at the
back Of it all, and that the electric
railway companies will eventually
be obliged to use their conduits,
