Not without Your Consent.

George H. Wittig gave the JOURNAL
this week copy of the Pleasautville
On. j. Press, with these paragraphs
marked:
The Interstate Telephone Co.'S amend
ment to an ordinance granting permission
to string overhead wires came up for the
fret and second reading. The amendment
Will give the company permission to erect
poles wherever necessary after first obtain
ing the consent of property-owners in front
OF whose premises pole must be located.
Mr.. Reed maintained his solid front
against an increase of the forest of bald
poles. AT the same time he apparently
recognizes a certain demand for competition
in the telephone business, and consented to
passage of the amendment on the basis that
that each and every property owner must
decide whether they desire more poles, and
this they can do when the time comes to
erect them.
Commenting thereon the Press says
Poles are menaces and unsightly. The
time may soon come when the companies
owning them will see necessity of burying
wires. In the meantime the COuncimen
have done the logical act, and no property
owner need submit to the erection of pole
i'll front of his premises.
In Frostburg, however, the pleas of
corporations are so plausible that Coun-
ellis have been unable to resist them.
But when it comes to improvements
of frontages with expensive sidewalks
for the public, the individual citizen has
no rights whatever.
Not only so-when the street is to be
improved for pubijc beneft he has no
rights outside of paying third of the
cost!
And then a telephone, light or road
pole, ugly IN every aspect, can be set
right i'll the pavement he has laid, in
front of his door without even consult
ing him.
SO far has this gone that the penalties
of owning property on a street that
ought to be improved make such owner
ship a crime!
But "as it was done this way last
year." so it should continue. Council
was not elected to learn anything new,
but to make older all that should have
died long ago.

Fred. Wade revives the question
why not blow the tirewhistle morning
and evening, especially evening at 6
o'clock: Everybody likes to hear the
notice to quit work, and, whether male
or female, he or she likes to hear it loud.
Besides it keeps the whistle in tune, so
that when IA fire alarm is needed it is
ready for use. And now that we have
natural gas, it ought to be heap easier
to blow that WHISTLE" Fred. is in dead
earnest about blowing that whistle, )"
and that the Department itself should
see that it is blown. Then he stated the
case en- whose bloweth not his
own horn, by whom should that horn be
blown ~

nineteen 10 twenty eight feet in length,

committee is composed Of the principal
Jobbers of the city. and its work viii
largely follow the lines OF activity laid
down by the old Jobbers' and Shippers
Association. Mr.. Semmes sald that the
first meeting would be more for orgaui-
zation and Informal discussions as TO
what the committee should do than any
thing else, but IL is understood that the
plan for mutual credit bureau which
was almost completed by the Jobbers'
and Shippers will be carried out at
once and put into effect. The further
consideration Of freight and shipping
problems viii also be taken up.
Another valuable line OF activity with
in the province Of this important com
mittee is the devising Of ways and
means TO increase the wholesale facilf-
ties Of the city. The experience last
fall when numbers Of Southern mer-
chants were brought TO the city TO pur-
chase supplies and then found that they
had TO go 10 Baltimore to complete their
buying was most unsatisfa Glory. II Is
the desire Of local wholesalers that the
country merchant should be able 70 buy
in Washington all necessary supplies.
With these problems 70 face Il seems
that the committee viii have much %
do from this time on
