UNDERGROUND Conduits.



In 1888 the municipality commenced
a campaign for underground wire, and
since then the use Of overhead wires
and street poles has been gradually
discontinued In all the central parts
of the CITY, This has had marked
effect upon electrical construction, as
we'll as upon the appearance Of the
city streets. There are now about 100
miles of subway In the streets and
more are added each year. The tele-
phone and electrical companies in
many cases, now, use underground
conduits in preference to overhead
work where permanence of construo-
ton Is desirable. A considerable
amount of tunnel work has been done
for short stretches.
Electrical Construction and Manu-
featuring.
During the past twenty-five years q
very large business in the way Of cleo
trtcal engineering, construction and
manufacturing of apparatus and ap-
pliance has grown up In Minneapolis.
This Is due In part to the city's being q
center for building materials OF all
kinds and the home Of many extern
sive contractors. Electrical engineers
In Minneapolis take orders and bid for
work In all parts of the country. Many
strong supply and manufacturing con-
Germs have grown up in the city, and
the number Is constantly increasing.
