ALL THE
WIRES
The COnncil Took First Steps
Toward Placing All Wires :
Under Ground


Unless the members of the city
council abruptly change their minds
very soon, all the telephone, tele-
graph, trolley and guard wires in
the city of Salem will be placed under
ground and the unsightly wires and
poles will be erased from the map of
Salem.
This will be an innovation for a
city of this size, as only a few of the
larger cities in the country have
adopted the plan of having all the
wires underground.
When the committee on ordinances
last night reported an amended ordi-
nance regulating the placing of wires
and poles, Alderman Steusloff moved
that the entire matter be referred
back to the committee on ordinances,
with instructions to prepare an ordi-
nance to move all the wires in the
city from the streets and alleys and
place them underground.
Does that mean all kinds of
wires?" was asked.
"The whole cheese" replied Mr..
Steusloff.
The resolution was adopted with a
whoop.
Council then accepted a supple
mental agreement with the General
Construction Company of Portland,
the contractor for the cement arch
over Mill creek on Commercial, that
$4,000 additional would be paid for
the building of the bridge and the
strength of the bridge is to be dou-
bled.
This arrangement was brought
about by the street railway people
agreeing to pay the extra money for
the privilege of laying a track on the
bridges. 1t was considered that 1t
would look better this way than for
the railroad to have an unsightly
bridge nearby this one. L. K. Page
was present and explained the posi-
tion of the company. The plan was
adopted with but little discussion.
A resolution was adopted requiring
the railroads to place alarm bells at
the principal street crossings in the
city and if request did not bring
about the required result, steps
should be taken to compel the roads
to do this. 1t was also stated in the
resolution that they should keep their
crossings in order.
Alderman Jacob called attention to
the unsanitary condition of the Cap
ital City Laundry at the place where
the waste water empties into the
ditch. The matter was referred to
the committee on health.
The following bills were submitted
audited and ordered paid:

Predicts Frost In June.

1t has been predicted that there will
be freeze in June. An old lady living
in the country, recalls well the freeze
of 1916 and says that it had been pre-
mornings in April of that year every
thing was frozen up. The very hard
freeze of June, 1852 well remembered
by many of the Older people, followed
hard freezings on the first three morh-
ings of April of that year. AS the first
three mornings of April Of this year
were very cold this old lady predicts a
hard freeze in June.
