Council Criticised.
King street from the river front to the
limits on the west Is now a veritable street
OF wires and poles on both SIDES and a
telegraph company is engaged in plac-
Ing another line of poles on that thorough
fare, which materially detracts from It's ap-
pearance. The city council Is being harshly
critlclsed for allowing such condition of
aHa1rs to exist Some time ago a reso-
luton was offered in the city council asking !
that committee be appointed to wait
upon representatives of the telegraph and |
telephone companies in an endeavor to get
them to make one line Of poles do for all |
OF their wires. The committee, to which the |
resolution was referred, has not as yet |
rendered any report in regard to the mat
ter.
