We are informed by representatives
of the New England Telephone company
that service In different sections of theii
Skowhegan system will be seriously In
terrupted by the curing Of wires to per-
nit the passage of the building that Is to
be moved from the Ward-Philbrick lot
to North street. There Is no doubt that
the wires and cables will have to be cu
at several different points and it seems
likely that the damage to the telephone
company, and the Western Union Tele-
graph company and the local lighting
company will be more than the value OF
the building, not to mention the annoy
apee to their patrons. We do not under
stand, however, why any particular SCI
of wires need TO be out of service fol
more thin few hours at tine. Would
it not seem advisable In like cases In the
future for the seleetmen from whom
permits to move buildings in the high
way must be obtained, to give a hearing
and allow interested parties to be heard.
1t is perfectly natural that the public
service companies who have so much in.
vested In wires IN our streets should feel
some injustice at being subjected to such
expense.
