LET THEM CATCH STEP
WITH THE CITY

II F the electric company and
the telephone company
have the right conception
Of their obligations to the city
they will cheerfully grant the
official request from the e0un-
Gil for the removal Of the poles
and wires from Main street.
1t is an improvement sorely
needed and the delay has been
much complained about. For
an up-to-date little city We have
a very poorly lighted Main
street. There should be clus-
ter lights at regular intervals
the entire distance Of the
street. But such lights would
be futile while the big wooden
poles remain because the effect
would be spoiled. The first
step is TO get the poles and
wires off Main street.
The change would not only
beauty the street but make
for better service from both
companies and less danger dur
ing fires. Men who understand
the telephone business and
therefore speak from a profes-
sional standpoint say our
phone equipment is hopelessly
out Of date. The same thing Is
true Of our electric equipment.
1t is time for change. L0-
cal business men and home
owners have been doing much
for the city's advancement. It
is time for the public service
corporations to catch step and
manifest a little Pendleton
spirit.
For their own welfare. if for
no other reason, u Will be a
good thing for the light com
pany and the telephone com
pany TO meet the city councils
request in good spirit.
There Is pronounced and a
growing sentiment here for a
municipal electric plant There
IL power available and Pendle-
ton is in position TO establish
such a plant without much
trouble.
a stubborn. unreasonable
attitude by the electric com
pany will do much to increase
the sentiment for such a plant
and bring the issue to a head.
Does the Pacific Power &
Light Co. want a municipal
competitor?
