ASKS NEW ORDINANCE

At the Monday evening meeting of
the city council, the Hood River Gas Il
Electric submitted a blue print of the
changes that it will make i'm its dis
tributing lines, in order to conform
with the recently enacted city ord-
nances. II. M. Wolfe, construction
foreman of the company is ready to
begin the work Of making the change
In communication to the council
from Albert S. Hall, manager of the
Hood River Gas Il Electric Co., and
from one OF the engineers of the Pa
clfic Power a Light Co., it was stated
that the company had been busy, ever
since the passage of the ordinances, in
the assembling of the proper material
here to make the change. Surveys,
too, had been worked upon. it was
stated.
The communication. however, stated,
that sections of the ordinances were
incomplete. In places. according to
the letter from the Gas & Electric Co,
the Home Telephone and Gas Il Flee
trio wires are on the same side of the
street. The ordinance states that they
shall be on opposite sides of the street
without declaring which shall make
the move. Where the two electric
companies have lines on the same
street, one company will have to use
extraordinarily high poles. The or
dinance has not covered the details of
making these changes. The letter
stated that the company was ready to
comply with the ordinance as soon as

representatives of the different com
panies involved.

position to be fair with US in the
granting of delays for the assistance
in closing up the water deal, said Mr..
Robertson.

of the council to take the place of DR..
BrOsius, resigned.
remonstrance was received from
