FAVOR PETITION
OF COMP ANIE s
Supervisors Recommend That
Extension of Time in Which
to Comply With Law Be Given

The joint committee of Police, Fire
and Streets of the Board of Super
visors yesterday recommended that
the petition of the Pacific States Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company for
an extension of fifteen months time
from January IL, 1904, within which
to comply with the terms of the or
dinance regulating the placing of high
voltage wires on poles, so that life
may be safeguarded, be granted. The
committee also submitted a form of
ordinance granting the extension of
time.
From the testimony adduced at the
meeting of the committee it was as
certained that the telephone company
and the Independent Electric Light
and Power Company are the only
concerns affected by the provisions of
the ordinance regulating the placing
of wires that proceeded in good faith
to comply with it's provisions.
The work of the telephone company
has been delayed by a strike OF it's
linemen lasting through several
months. The assurance was given by
the representatives of the company
that the work will be completed with
in the time granted by the extension.
Some fear was expressed by the
representatives of the Linemen'sUnion
present that the grant of the extern
sion of time to the telephone company
might affect the validity of the main
ordinance in so far as it applied to
other companies subject to its terms.
The committee, however. expressed
its belief that if any action of the
board IS invalid in that regard it
would be the grant of extension of
time and the telephone company
would alone be the sufferer.
General Manager Lawless of the
San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany made an absolute guarantee that
the entire work, so far as his COM
pany was concerned, would be COM
pleted within fifteen months. w. r.
Hewitt said the citys wires could be
properly placed in nine months time,
but it would require an appropriation
of $4,000 for the purpose. F. H.
Lamb of the Western Union Company,
NJ. Collins of the Mutual Electric
Company and w. Abbott of the United
Railroads desired one years time in
which to comply with the ordinance.
The attorney of the Linemen's Union
Intellectually pleaded for an extension
of nine months time only.
