NEW CASTLE. July sl.-Another
hitch has come in the work OF the WI
mmeton City Electric Company in It's
effort to reach here with line Of poles.
The poles are to support the cable to
convey electricity TO light New Castle
Delaware City and Fort Dupont. Cur
rent is to be furnished to operate the
water plant here and TO furnish power in
business places. When the construction
gang reached Cherry Lane IL struck q
snag. The Hoilmgsworth farm runs on
both sidos OF the county road TO Ian
der's avenue This makes break IN
the pole line because the electric com
pany Is unable 70 get permission 20
erect its poles along the Holingsworth
farm. The owners Of the farm give the
Wilmington City Electric Company no
reason for not granting the right to
erect the poles. The refusal Of this per
mission at this point prevents the com
pany from fulfilling the contract.
