TELEPHONE POLES.

The Providence Telephone Company has
recently been engaged in putting up new
poles I'm different sections OF the city on
which 10 string their wires and these
have In many places replaced the old
poles which have outllved their useful
ness. These new poles I'm almost every
case have been considerably shorter than
the old ones and the result Is that certain
people living In the South Woodlawn sec
tion have made come comment ohiecting
to the size. They called attention 10 the
fact that new trees have been recently
been set ont In that section of the city
and that the erection OF short poles will
result In the wires coming iu contact
with these trees and causing serious dam
age
That Is one side Of the question. but lt
would appear that there Is another one
and consequently ~ Is unwise TO criticize
the action OF the company without hav-
ing heard the reasons which they have
for erecting the short poles. II Is prob
ably quite well known 10 most people
that the telephone company has during
the past year or two been experimenting
with the system OF cables for the tele-
phone wires. These cables consist OF a
large number OF insulated wires wound
together and held up by n series Of metal
rings. which support them and prevent
swinging The company has found that
this system worked very satisfactorily
and wherever new construction is started
this system IL being adopted ~ ~ the
purpose of the company 10 string these
cables IN the South wOodlawn section
entirely and consequently there Il no need
for the great high and ungalnly poles
which have hitherto been used

wALcoTT STREET COMPLETED

The work OF laying the bitulithic pave
ment on North Bend and Walcott streets
has been completed and these two thor
oughfares are now among the best paved
OF the city. This work was started about
four weeks ago and since that time they
have been torn UP practically all OF the
time so that that IL was not possible to
use them except by the electric cars,
and even these were required to make a
change most OF the time. The work Is
well done and, Judging from the expert
ence I'm other streets. they will not need
any further attention for quite a num-
ber OF years
The firm which Is doing this work has
got another big gang of men on Main
street where the pavement Is being laid
from point beginning at the junction
OF Lonsdale avenue To Broad street
When this was originally ordered II was
not contemplated to lay the bitulithic
further than Garden street and for the
remainder OF the distance II was TO be
block pavement. But the abutting prop
erty owners petitioned for the bitulithic
and II was decided by the city council 10
lay this. 1t will probably be at least a
