Hard on Telephone Wires

The storm of last week while not
so severe as others for the people
generally has been the worst for sew
eral years in this locality on the tel
ephone company. 1t started with Il
frost which rendered the wires sticky
and was followed first by a mist and
then sleet and fine snow. As there
was no melting temperature between
all stuck to the wires and the tee
phone poles began to come down. This
was not confined to old poles but
many that had recently been put in
were unable to stand the strain. Man
ager A. G. Hill informs US that the
first morning after the storm all but
two of the rural lines of this exchange
were out of commission and seventy
five new poles were needed. The Wiley
and Granada exchanges had as many
down, and the Springfield lines are so
badly injured that it will be several
days yet before some of its branches
are working. Not much damage is
reported except to the wires of the
different companies using them. Quite
a large force of extra men will be re-
quired for several days to repair all
these however.
