The Glenwood post., 1912-07-06


July l, 1912.
To the Honorable Mayor and Mem
bers of the City Council,
Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
Dear Sirs
Pursuant to instructions received
from the chairman of your street AMI
alley committee, l have examined the
wiring of the Glenwood Light Il Water
I Company and the Mutual Light, Heat
and Power Company.
In general, with regard to the sys
TEN of the Glenwood Light & Water
Company, | find in numerous instances
slack wires between poles, and several
other instances of destroyed insulation;
wires when slack, assuming a curve ON
account of temperature changes, CIR
from other causes, become a possible
source of induction if they are in such
proximity as to cause short circuiting.
Uninsulated wires become source Of
danger when m close proximity or be
crossed by other wires. l have not
noted an instance where either of these
cases could occur with respect to the
Company's own plant. Or, in other
words, the plant of the Glenwood
Light 4 Water Company, as it stands,
does not present any dangerous fea-
lures by virtue of construction, al
though, considering the facts above
stated, there is room for Improvement
in the present lay vuI. Concerning
material, it should be stated in accord
ance with facts, that there are num-
erous plants in Colorado and elsewhere
which do not use insulated wire at all,
and only, when new plants in addition
to the old ones and in proximity there
to, are built, that uninsulated wires
under unfavorable circumstances may
become a source of danger.
| This situation has been created by
the partial construction of the plant
of the Mutual Light, Heat & Power
company. Typical cases of conflicts
so arising may be cited in the follow
ing instances:
l. South side of Eighth street, alley
between Cooper and Grand, plain inter
ference.
2. North side of Eighth street, al.
ley between Grand and Cooper, plain
interference and proximity to trans
formers.
3. Third Mutual pole north of
Eighth street, alley between Bennett
and Palmer; interference; Glenwood
Company's wires drawn to the pole
and fastened to it, supporting insult
ators being set very close together.
4. Second G. l.. & w. pole north of
Eighth street alley between Cooper
and Blake Wires run close to top of
transformer and in close proximity to
fuse box.
5. Second G. L. & w. pole south OF
Ninth street, alley between Cooper and
Blake. Interference with transformer
wires.
6. First Glenwood Light pole north
of 1lth ST., alley between Colorado
and Grand. Mutual wires threaded
through transformer wires.
} Z. Second Glenwood light pole north
of 1lth street, between Colorado and
Grand. Wires run close to GlenwoOd
: company pole with Mutual pole bear
ing transformer in very close prOx
unity.
8. Fourth Mutual pole tbetweer
second and trihd Glenwood Co. poles
north of 1lth st. in alley between Co.
orado and Grand. This pole SO SCI
, that the wires on it are mingled with
. the Glenwood Co. wires.
