property owner on the street Is In favor
of steel poles. He declared IL liz Serl-
Gus question and involves the establish
ing OF precedent as 10 poles TO be used
on all paved streets I'm the future. He
said that steel poles are being used in
Seattle. Los Angeles. Chicago and other
large cities, and Salt Lake can do the
same. and insisted that the council
would make a great mistake unless II

Mr.. Reedall declared that there was
hing fbc CLAIM Qf nroredpni b,o-
ing established. as the council had per-
mitted the use of wooden poles on a
number of paved streets. He expressed
the hope that the company would be per-
mitted 10 use wooden poles for cigh~
teen months, at least. until Il could re-
arrange Its system and secure the nee
essary steel poles
Mr.. Fernstrom is of the same opinion
as Mr.. Reedall. and declared that the
