TELEPHONE POLES
Must be Removed From Barber.
ton Streets.
Especial Correspondence.)

Barberton, June 25.-Tlie question of
whether telephone poles should be
placed in the alleys or tAe streets has
been the subject of much discussion
at the council for the past few weeks
and petitions and counter petitions
have been showered upon the Coun-
cilmen until they are at loss to know
what the people really want. Some
time ago the Council took action to
compel the Bell and Peoples companies
to put their poles In the alleys. This
has not been done anu the matter has
been at standstill. 1t was taken .up
at the meeting Monday evening and
the merits and demerits of the ordi-
nance warmly discussed. Some were
In favor Of standing by the former ac-
tion of the Council while others thought
1t would be better to let the poles re-
main in the streets. When the matter
was put to vote, however. 1t was de-
cided to instruct the telephone COM
panies to have their poles removed to
the alleys on Second St, and Tuscar-
awas ave, Immediately, so that the
contractors can go along with the street
paving.
