POLE REMOVAL
PLAN OF CITY
COMING YEAR
Heavy Toll Lines of Telephone Com
pany and Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company To Be
Removed Soon.

In all likelihood the unsightly poles
ing wires of the Wisconsin Telephone
company and the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric company will be removed
from those thoroughfares the coming
season At least that is the eXpecta-
ton of the mayor and city officials
who have had the matter in hand for
some months. A year ago or so the
subject of such removal was preached
but at that time the local companies
declared that owing to war conditions
it was not possible, but now that the
war is over the board of public works
believe that start can be made on
the proposed work
1t is proposed to cause the removal
of all poles from the North Western
railroad tracks to Concord avenue,
and in this way make room for white
way lighting system in Main and West
Main streets, which is impossible I'M
der present conditions. To accom-
plish this the electric railway poles OF
T. M. E. r. e L. Co. will be used on
which to place brackets carrying the
ornamental street lights, and east Of
Fifth street new poles will be set to
accommodate the lights. 1t is said that
this system Of street lighting is almost
perfect as the light is diffused where
most needed.
The cable lines of the telephone
company would under an ordin-
ance now being drafted by City At
torney E. F. Wieman, traverse the
outskirts of the city and not along
Main street. Such cables would be
connected with central by single
thus doing away entirely downtown
with the long distance lines. Local
business places would be connected
by feed wires from the rear of their
places instead of at the side and
front as at present.
The cost of placing the wires under
ground was considered prohibitive
and this method was not insisted up
on by the city.
There is no doubt but that the re-
moval Of the poles will be a step in
the right direction. 1t will relieve the
congestion apparent in Main street at
present, do away with danger at fires
and give the street a decent appear
ance, and not a network of wires as
at present. A partial relief was at
fOrded some years ago when the high
tension electric wires were removed
from Main and West Main streets
and carried in the street to the rear
and the necessary stepping down
service provided for by transformers
underground.

Here and There

With a scarcity of coal the present
mild weather seems providentia1.
There is also a we'll defined rumor
that the coal prices may fall soon.
One guess seems about as good as
the other as to the cause of the "flu. -
No one, however, cares to have much
to do with it. Even the doctors are
becoming tired of their job.
It's bad enough for frivolous girls
or women to tattle little doings" in
public places which reflect upon 9TH
ers, but it's certainly poor taste and
shows lack Of character in men who
follow the same procedure.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good. The "f1u" blew a whole lot OF
money into the physicians pockets the
past few weeks, while the undertakers
got the small end of the horn. The
pockets of the afflicted ones are con-
siderably lighter since the visitation
Strange creatures are some women
In the absence of company and in the
hearing of hubby they will abuse him
until he feels so small he could al
most refuse to pay for his newspaper
But as soon as he is absent and in the
presence of company she will boast
him to the skies. AS a general propo-
sition the man of the house would like
to have the condi ton reversed.

BIGGEST STAMP DAY
AT LOCAL POSTOFFICE

Monday, December %, was the big
gest stamp day ever known at the To-
cal postoffice. Postmaster j. W.
Moore states that the sale of stamps
on that day in the regular order OF
business was $119 greater than on any
previous day. This of course does not
mean any day where a single order of
stamps in quantity might raise the
total, but the ordinary run of business.
The Christmas business at the post
office was about the same as last year,
not much difference in the receipts
being noticeable. 1t was different, how
ever, in the stores. But this was most
ly due to poor weather conditions and
the bad condition of the roads.

IL men are the helpless creatures OF

account for the fact that in this prison

certainty IN the cotton mills. Civilian
buyers have been slow 20 place conf
dence in peace time valuations OF goods
and there II keen anxiety in the trade
as to the course OF business during the
next two or three months.
Printers will hold spring prices with
out change and many merchants hand
ling standard civilian goods will make
no new prices at this time In gray
goods markets prices are. falling and
has been accepted on levels 20 per cent
under Government maximums. spot
goods may he had 10 per cent. under the
maximum figures.
The termination of Red Cross orders
will not be brought about in way to
further disturb the markets by resales
or by the sudden shutting of OF all bust
ness. Export inquiries have been in
creasing, but Il is hard to close new
business with values so unsettled.
