NNE hundred and sixty-nine thousand
miles of copper wire-almost enough
to girdle the earth seven tirnes-are
being added to our underground equip

Now add to that the opening of thirty
seven miles Of street for trenches; the laying
of conduit, or container for cable, which
encloses two hundred miles of duct (sce

cable carrying the LOG, 600 miles Of wire
and you have summary of our tremendous

There is every reason to believe that this
increase in underground equipment, together
with the other items in our 5000, 600
construction program-of which we have

We are using the largest sizes of cable

For example, remember that before con-

where the demand for service will arise and
also the probable extent of that demand. In

in itself, is difficult problem.
