FERRETs LAY TELEPHONE WIRE
Ingenious Way OF Using Them in Un-
dsraround Ducts,

ingenious way OF Using mem IN On-
derground Ducts.
Do the labor unions know that fer
sets and rats are working without
union cards in Indianapolis, Terre
Haute, Lafayette and Huntington,
Ind?
The fact is admitted by Mr.. Cline.
superintendent of construction of a tel
ephone company at Indianapolis. He
states that they are used in connection
with laying wires in underground
ducts.
when we first began to use fer
rets." says Mr.. Cline in a letter to st.
Nicholas, I'VE baited them or enticed
them through the duct by hanging a
piece of raw meat at the opposite end.
Our latest experiments have been by
the use of a live rat, started through
the duct ahead of the ferret. This en-
tees the ferret to follow the rat
through the section of the duct to the
next manhole, where the rat is Gagged
and used for another section.
Before starting the ferret through
the duct he is harnessed up with a COL
lar and girth. to which is attached the
end of a ball of lacing Irvine. AS the
ferret goes through the duct he pulls
the lacing twine after him, and when
he reaches the other end we have a
string through the section of duct by
mean Of which we pull q small wire
through, and with this wire the pulling
in rope is drawn through the duct.
The pulling in rope may be either one
and a quarter inch manila or a FIVE
eighths inch flexible wire.
I'VE also keep the ferrets well fed
until within about twenty-four hours
before they are used, as the tendency
of a ferret is to do better work when
he is hungry"

20 The Times.
The suppression Of the investigation
and the reports. which is an unusual
thing at the District building in such
matters. was done without the sug-
gesticn of Commissioner West, who
made the original complaint that re-

I am satisfied that. as far as the

superintendent, the physicians, nurses
or employees that should be sustained,
except. perhaps. slight carelessness on
the part OF the former resident physi-
clan. The communication Of Commits
ssoner West Will, however. do much "a
correct the errors which may have oc-
Cured IN the past"
The facts, however, are that, although
the past carelessness was admitted, the
Commissioners took no action TO prevent
their repetition. 30 far as the records
show, nor did the Board of Charities
whose investigation was conducted
through DR.. George NJ. Kober ano
