The Postal Telegraph Gable Company re-
Gently requested permission from the Dis
trict Commissioners to replace its poles and
wires, beginning at the corner of 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue, thence along 14tE
street to Ohio avenue to 18th street thence
along 12tn street 20 3 street southwest
with guy stub at b street Also to re-
place existing cable pole at the northeast
corner of North Capitol and 3 streets. Mr..
w. c. Allen, the electrical Ell gineer of the
District has recommended favorable action
in the matter. He states that he has en-
deavored to effect a consolidation of the
first mentioned lire of poles with those of
the Western Union Telegraph Company on
the west sile Of Nth street. but that. owing
to the Discrimination CT the two companies
to occupy joint line, and to the fact that
IL would require the Postal Telegraph Gable
Company to cross 18th street twice. he
thinks 1t will be best to maintain the two
Independent lines until such time as they
can be removed and replaced by under
ground wires. The Commissioners have ap-
proved Mr.. Aliens recommendations
