 OVERHEAD WIRES.

There is, perhaps, nothing more necessary under the conditions im-: posed by the civilization oftoday than telephones, telegraphs and electric lights, but on the other hand, there is rothing that destroys the appear ancs of city or interferes to a great CT Extent :n an attempt to. beautify street. than the profdsion of ovor- head wires which usually atebmpan- 'qes the" inssa.imeiIt sof 'shcf ,1ieeessary t1f{venienaes' if sus. aus ASjlnmtnity.|' ss >.
 Tn the beginning what we want is Eths telephone CT the electric light or the telegraph; we care not so much how Or under what conditions we se- cure it, so long as we get t. We are willing to pay most any price for it at first. Later we usually want the price reduced, still later we general ly want the wires out of the way. They are being rapidly removed in the larger cities. In few years such removal will spread generally to the smaller communities.
 The power to enforce the removal of overhead wires is vested in tha city council. and there is no question of their authority, so long as it is eX- ercis sed in reasonable manner. The city council of Pine Bluff can, and should, require all overhead wires, except wires for the transmission or power fer the operation of electric cars to be removed from the streets such removal of course, should be gradual, starting from the center Of the center of the city and working outward. It should not be required to extend to outlying portions of the city until the revenue derived from consumers therein would be insuffi- cient to justify the expense.
 Perhaps someone is ready to h. qui.e just here what are you going to do with the wires when you re- move them?' This question has al- ready been answered in many. cities. Put them underground. Some cities have built the necessary underground ccnduits for the carrying of such wires and rent them to the compan- ies. Others, require the companies to construct them. It is a matter of po- licy for the council to determine as
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-05-12

to which course is the better, but that the counc'l has the right to compel overhead wires to be gradually plac- ed underground, there is no question.
 The time will eventually come when there will be some other means of transmission of electricity for the operation of street railways than tilE. overhead method. In fact such sys- tenn is now in operation in Wash 'ng- ton, D. C., but until such time we must put up with overhead wires for street cars, but it is unnecessary that we should do so longer in the case of the other public Improvements which for lack of a better name, may be designated as electric utilities"
 The grounds for requiring the re- moval of overhead wires are ample. They are dangerous both to life and proper erty an. ' interference with
