be accredited chiefly to it's waterway
freights.

self OF Overhead Wires.

self of Overhead Wires.
The views expressed in a recent edi-
torial in the Morning News relative to
putting underground all the telegraph
and telephone wires that now are
strung overhead on West Broad street.
was brought yesterday to the attention
of Mr.. H. P. Smart, director of the
Georgia Telephone and Telegraph Com
panY, which is much interested in the
question, because of the number of its
wires that would be affected should
the change to the underground system
be made.
Mr.. Smart said that not only was he
in favor of putting the wires of the
Georgia Telephone and Telegraph
Company underground, because it can
be done cheaper now than will be pos
sible after the proposed pavement has
been put down. but was also in favor
of such d plan not only for the wires
of his company. but for all wires, be-
cause he thinks that underground is
the proper place for them.
There are only few of the directors
of the Georgia Company now in the
city, but 1t is not improbable that this
matter of changing their system on
the street in question will be brought
before the board at an early date.

ments' shoes, but that when his Gus
toner had gotten what he wanted in

called on the detective to make the
arrest. so that he wouldn't have TO go
