10 Planned.

Aerial telephone wires TO the build
fngs on Lucas avenue between Sixth
and Seventh street are being replaced
By block cables. This work follows
out the policy of the Iowa Telephone
company to get rid Of as many over
head wires az possible, and will les
gen danger from these aerial wires in
case OF possible fire The chance Of
Induction from the high tension wires
OF the power company In the same
street is also materially lessened.
Z Where there are several telephones
to building. the number Of wires
makes a regular network from the
poles to the building, since there are
two aerials for each telephone. The
work which Is being done now by a
large force OF men from the Iowa
Telephone company, is doing away
with this network OF wires. The cables
carry the wires underground to the
cable box on the building. Then the
wires to the various telephones are
connected from this box.
The estimate for this work calls
for considerable more work Of this
character. There has been work done
in the residence districts, also, in re-
placing some of the leads with cables
1t would not be practical, however, to
try to use block cable system for the
