WILL PAINT POLES.

Alexander Levenhagen has taken the
contract to paint the new poles recently
set by the city and by the Wausau Flee
trio Co. There are about 500 belonging
to the former, which will be painted
blue from the ground up to a distance
of eight feet and the balance white. The
Wausau Electric Co. has about 800.
which will be painted black at the bot
tom the balance white. Each pole will
be given two coats of paint and about
s.. 75 worth CT material will be used on
each one. Mr. Levenhagen will be
assisted by several hired hands, and
will endeavor to complete the work in
the center of town before cold weather
sets in, and will finish up in the spring.
We understand that all of the old poles
of the Wausau Electric Co. along the
principal streets are to be removed as
soon as lighting is supplied to the city
under the new contract, and while poles
set along any thoroughfare are un-
