Investigators Take Stand That Com
panies Enjoying Free Franchises,
Should be Willing to Abide by Pop
ular Demand for Civic Beauty.

Recommending that an ordinance
be drafted and passed for the re-
moval of overhead power and tele-
phone wires and the placing of them
streets, Councilmen Strain and Dyer,
constituting the majority of the in
vestigating committee of the council
submitted their report at the regu-
lar meeting last night. After some
discussion it was moved by Council
man Montgomery that the report be
laid upon the table until figures be
secured relative to the estimated cost
to the, corporations and citizens of
such a move, and the motion was
passed. Mayor Murphy expressed the
opinion that such figures could be
secured within two weeks and the
report be taken up two weeks from
last night
In their report the councilmen ex-
pressed tie opinion that corporations
enjoying free franchises from the
city should make such improve
ments of their own volition instead
of keeping their wires strung on
burnt, worn md unslghtly poles
year after year.
Citizens Favor Idea.
They declared further, that from
a standpoint of safety and civic duty
such a course was desirable ana that
they had found upon investigation
That the majority of the citizens were
in favor of the idea. And finally
they declared that they were convinc-
ed that the cost of such improve
ment would not be excessive and
could wall be afforded
Mayor Murphy expressed himself
as desirous of obtaining figures and
definite data upon the cost of such
step before acting upon the report
and he stated that he had secured
an engineer to undertake that work
Councilman Dyer in answer stated
that the committee had made an en-
deavor to secure accurate figures but
that those secured from different
persons varied so greatly that they
We're unreliable.
Councilman Montgomery favored
the idea Of waiting until figures were
secured and introduced a motion to
that effect, Councilman Dyer urg-
ed that the matter should be taken
up before the paving of the street was
begun and upon the understanding
that definite figures would be present
ed within two weeks the motiop was
carried unanimously.
