STANDARD MANHCLES
TO BE MADE rs INCHES
Col. John Biddle Thinks That Large
Enough Except in Certain
Unusual Cases.

The Engineer Commissioner, Col. John
Biddle. has forwarded to the board a
recommendation to the effect that the
Chesapeake ,and Potomac Telephone
Company be allowed a standard man
hole of &c inches in diameter instead
OF 30 inches. as requested by them. ex-
cept in special cases. in which man
hole not exceeding 30 inches may be al
lowed upon special application to be
made the subject OF Investigation by the
Commissioners. In his letter to the
board Commissioner Biddle says:
Il have the honor to recommend that
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company be allowed a standard manhole
OF 20 inches in diameter instead of 20
inches, as asked for By them. except In
special cases where the amount of wir-
ing or other reasons demands a larger
manhole. In which cases a manhole of
not exceeding 80 inches in diameter may
be allowed upon a special application in
each case to the Commissioners.
Il have carefully gone over the CORE
spondence submitted by the president OF
the company, and have also had a wire
Drawn through a conduit for my benefit
on G Street between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth Streets. While the opening
of the manhole in question was only 20
inches. there was no difficulty whatever
in introducing a cable. nor was there
any foulness in the air. / remained in
the manhole myself for a large part OF
the time that the cable was being intro
duce in the conduit.
There may be other cases, however.
where, in larger and deeper manholes
less advant2geously situated. there may
be some difficulty, but | think that all
reasonable requirements will be salts
fed with 26-inch hole. The covers to
these manholes are. as a rule, only re-
moved once year or so. and il would
seem necessary that the public should be
put TO as little Inconvenience as posi-
bic. While these covers viii be asphalt
filled, it is practically impossible to
keep the pavement exactly to the level
around them. and therefore every inch
added TO their diameter causes an addi-
tional Inconvenience to the public"
