FIX CONDUITS

The N. Y. & N. ]. Telephone Company
started this morning to repair its con
duit system between State and Hobart
streets in Smith streets, as mony of the
conduits are believed to be broken Re
Gently two attempts were made by the
company to put cables through them
but, although pmngers were used, the
trouble could not be located. One gang
worked whole week trying to find just
where the breaks were, and later anoth-
er gang tried but without avail.
1t was then decided to uncover the
entire stretch from manhole to manhole.
A foreman this morning said that, unless
the conduits fit properly together,
cables cannot be run through them. He
also said that as many houses connec-
tions have been made for water and gas
since the conduits were first laid, he be
lieves that the workmen who did the ex-
cavating damage them with their picks

heard someone say "I'n shoot the
