TELEPHONE COMP ANY WOULD
CHANGE LOCATION OF POLES
School Board Grants Permission to
Move Poles at Mills and Liberty
Buildings.

In working out its new system for
the carrying of telephone and electric
light wires on the same poles, J.. r.
Rockwell, a representative of the New
York Telephone Company, appeared
before the Board of Education at its
regular monthly meeting Friday night
in the Maple avenue school building
and asked permission to change the
location of poles both on the Mills
street school and at the Liberty
street school properties. On the mo-
ton of Commissioner c. Franklin Will
son the request was referred to the
committee on operation and mainten-
ance with power.
Mr.. Rockwelrs request was for the
removal of two poles ON the Hazlet
street side of the building twenty y-five
feet farther back. At the Liberty
street school permission was asked to
set pole where one had been pre-
viously.
Commissioner w. Parsons Todd, of
the operation and maintenance COM
mittee, reported that the real cause of
closing the Maple avenue school after
Lincolns Birthday was because the
pipes were frozen up and the venti-
lating system would not work. Two
men were hired at the rate of So a
day to keep the fires going night and
day. A letter was read from boiler
indemnity company stating that the
boilers one and two had been inspetc-
ed and found TO be in first class condi-
tion. A balance of $40,444.71 on hand
was reported by the finance commit

The high wind wreaked havoc with
windows, shutters and trees. Street
Commissioner Frapwell and gang of
men worked all day Monday clearing
the streets of the fallen trees and
branches. Houses all over town suf-
fered from the wind by having blinds
torn from their fastenings and many
windows were blown in. A window

in the store occupied by the Misses
Muller's millinery, was blown in and
