Pipe Lines Must Be Laid Two and

The Lexington Board of Public
Works served official notice on
the officials of the Central Ken

the latter's pipe lines would have
to be laid at least q feet under

When City Engineer O'Neil Wis

begun laying the concrete founda-

that the gas company's mains
were so close to the surface that
the concrete could not be properly
put down. Superintendent Bate
man was surprised to find that a
public service corporation which
has laid miles of gas mains in this
city and vicinity had permitted
such a job to be done.

and our Southern States could ex-

phetic figures about China-but
which have to do with telephone
installatiOn-were spun out in the
offices of the Western Electric
Company at 463 West street, when
O. ID. Street of the Western Elec-
trio told of the contract for the
installation of a modern American
telephone system in Pekin that has
just been awarded by the Chinese
Empire to his Company against
the bids of English, German,
French and other foreign manu-
facturers.
A commission composed of three
Chinese Government officialstonred
Europe two years ago to look over
telephones. The commission
agreed with the Western Electric
people-who manufacture the Bell
Telephone Compsny's equipment
that New York has the best tele-
phone system in existence. A cable
gram from the Western Electric's
Chinese agents, the Armhold-
Kerberg Company of Tietsin, an
nouncing the award from the
Chinese Government, is the result.
This opening contract" en-
planned Mr.. Street to United States,
for this is another indication of the
awakening of the Chinese to the
value of modern things.
China really has no telephone
system now. For all the 400,
900, 900 or more in the empire
there are about 5000 telephones.
These are all of the old hand ring
ing absolute kind and are installed
mainly in the homes of foreigners,
who use them merely for social
intercourse, not for shopping and
trade. They couldn't use them as
New Workers do if they wanted to,
because each little exchange con-
meets with about 100 phones, and
no two exchanges have trunk con-
nectiOns."
1t has been estimated that if the
United States keeps up only its
present rate of telephone expantion
there will be one telephone to every
five americans twenty years hence.
But suppose China's increase
during a like period, were only |
per cent-a ridiculous low figure,
compared to ours-China in 1896
will have 400, 900 telephones, which
with the switchboards and other
equipment will mean a Chinese ex
