THE RIGHT TO STRING WIRES.
Attorney DuVaII's Opinion on the
Authority of the commissioners.

\
Authority of the Commissioners.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company has made numerous applications
10 the Commissioners for permission 10
string wires and make house connections
in the District. These applications have
had reference to putting up wires within
the city, and in that part Of the District
outside OF the city limits.
With reference to applications in the
city, they have been promptly refused, o.
the ground that the laws OF the District
do not authorize the Commissioners to
grant permission for stringing wires on
poles OF to make house connections. The
law in the case and the opinion Of the At
torney Tor the District are clear on that
point
But a few days ago the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company made appli-
cation TO the Commissioners for permission
to place wires and make house c-nnectioLs
In the District outside Of the city limits
The company advanced the claim that the
authorities nave the right TO grant such
permission. citing in proof thereof a clause
I'm the District Appropriation act CT March
g. 1897. which says.
And the authority granted to the said
Commissioners in the District Of Column

tiou and use Of telephone poles in the al
levs Of the city Of Washington. shall be
limited as follows: Hereafter no wire
shall be strung on any alley pole at q
height OF less than fifty feet from the
ground al the point of attaching the wire
To the pole. Temporary permits may be
granted by the said Commissioners to
string wires from cable poles or from ex-
istiug overhead trunk lines TO poles in

poles iu one square TO alley poles, or house

purpose OF making necessary house con-
us-iions from all cable poles and existing
overhead trunk lines within the District
OF Columbia. such house connection TO be
made from the cable poles or overhead

The subject having been referred % the
Attorney 0f The District Tor an opinion, he
states that 10 bis view the act referred TO
does not authorize the CCmmi zsioaers 10
grant the permits desired. The question
involved the Attorney thinks. 10 the APP
plcations Of the company is the power To
subject the public highways IN the Dis
trict outside the city, TO private or quasi
public segyitudes.
Under the law. the Attorney adds the
Commissioners have supervision and police
