USE OF LARGER POLE.
Complaint Made to missioners by
Mr. w. j. Morris.

Mr. w. J. Morris of 1914 l. street recently
complained to the District Commissioners
that a private corporation has been per-
mitted to occupy a still greater portion of
the sidewalk l. street near 18th street
with a monster telegraph pole. This pole,
he states is seven feet in circumference at
the base. head high, and ts apparently in
tended to replace one but three feet ten
inches in circumference. In the present
state of the law, Mr.. Morris submitted, the
substitution of pole much larger is an
abuse of the authority granted by the Com
missioners, and specifically, he believes.
contrary to law as announced in public in
terviews with the chairmen Of the District
committees in Congress. The point is, said
Mr.. Morris, that just SO much more space
for light and air a narrow street, to
which the public is entitled, is taken up by
O surface construction for the uses OF a
private corporation.
The complaint was referred by the Com
missioners to Mr.. w. c. Allen, the District
electrical engineer who has reported that
the pole complained of replaced an old and
worn-out one. The line of telephone poles
on l. street. of which this is one said Mr..
Allen carries from 40 to 100 wires, among
them those for the long-distance service be-
tween this city and New York. The old
poles were too light for this number Of
wires, he further explained, and In replac-
ing the wor1l-out one the company used a
pole somewhat larger at the base. AS this
line must, in Mr.. Aliens opinion, remain
until some provision is made authorizing
the company to extend its conduits, 1t
seems to him that this construction is in
conformity to good practice.
Upon the recommendation of Commits
sioner Wight, Mr.. Morris has been Informed
accordingly.
