FIGHT OVER POLE-ROI-TEs

4 report vas read from the sub-com-
lnittee relating to the establishment OF
pole-TorIes along certain streets to carry
tho light and power wires OF the Virginia
Electrical Railway and Development Com
paay. These routes are along Franklin.
Main and Cary Streets, from Fourteenth
Street ea.Stvrard!y on Canal. Adams Ninth
and other Streets Col. Cutshaw said he had
no objection 10 any OF the routes save the
pole-route on Ninth. Canal and Adams
Streets. He thought these feeders on
this route should 60 in conduits, as it
was the policy Of ali cities to put wires
underground just as far as practicable.
Mr.. Bemiss. president OF the company,
spoke at considerable length on the sub
ject. saying that to carry out the City
Engineers ideas as TO this route would
entail an expense upon his company ag
eregating SI500J0 to $2t0.G30 and would
deaden it's enterprise wholly. Mr.. Chair
man" said NIr Be,liss. we have carried
on the work we have undertaken here in
the best possible manner and al a cost
of more than $l,0Jo.@G1. BY the time we
shall have our plant completed and in
operation, which means cheap light and
power to the citizens of Richmond, We
will have spent at least Sl.io0,Ge1 To put
this proposed route in tiles, or conduits,
is absolutely out Of the question
CITY IN y SLING.
The City Engineer remarked that the
company, by its franchise had the city
practically in a sling 50 far rs the furnish
ing of light and power was Concerned,
and that it was but natural that it would
have to sr5nd large sums of money in the
establishment of its gigantic enterprise.
He thought the committee would set a
dangerous precedent if it allowed this
company TO bring its wires out OF its
power-house on poles. He said the COM
lnittee would soon have this same ques-
ton with the Richmond Passenger and
Power Company, and it would not be in
a position to require that corporation to
put down conduts if the pole-roule asked
was given to the Virginia Electric Rail
way and Development Company
After some further debate the committee
granted the pole-route asked, on The con-
dition that the company would put con-
duits in Ninth Street from the companys S
power house to Canal Street. This was
approved by Col. Cutshaw.
The committee decided TO allow the
West-iHnd Baptist Church TO lay a, terra
