SHOOT GAME, NOT INSULAToRS
With the hunting season in full
swing and bullets whizzing through
the air in all directions, many people
are being seriously Inconvenience
and great damage is being done to
public utility properties, according to
reports coming to the Wisconsin Pub
lie Utilities Bureau.
The Bureau says that inconslderate
hunters are using insulators on the
cross arms of electric light and tele-
phone poles as targets and that many
of the invaluable glass fixtures are be
ing shot to pieces. AS result, the
public utility companies are appealing
to hunters to keep their guns pointed
at the ducks and other game and to
let the insulators remain on the job SO
that electric current can be kept
flowing uninterruptedly.
Insulators are the small glass or
porcelain fixtures which prevent cleo
trio currents from leaking to the
earth or other disturbing mediums.
When a pole is wet and an insulato
is broken the current by coming into
contact with the pole is liable to burn
it down.
When these insulators are broken
some homes and some factories are
deprived of their electric light and
power, or telephone services. In adj
dition, the properties of the utility
company are damaged. If only one in
sulator on high power line is broken
it may cost company several thous-
ands of dollars to find and repair the
damage.
# sometimes takes a week for the
linemen to find these broken insulat-
ors, for these repairmen only know
that a certain wire is not functioning
and, as consequence, they must
search all along the route and climb
MANY poles to find it. This is especial
ly an hardship during storms and the
winter billiards. Not only do inconsid
crate hunters shoot at insulators but
BOYS in the cities also use them for
targets without realizing the damage
they are doing.
Some of the companies are having
so much trouble that they are offer
ing reward of 500 for the apprehen
sion of hunters who deliberately
shoot at the insignificant looking but
highly important insulators.

Under the terms of the contract the

BIDS were publlShed by the war De-
partment with specifications calling
for gutta percha insulated cable, no
response was received from any
American firm. as submarine cables
of this type are not manufactured in
this country.
Bids from British companies inclu-
ded the original proposition of Sci
mans Brothers as the lowest offer
made, but there We're certain condi-
tions which required that Colonel
Gibbs be sent abroad to discuss the
matter with the cable manufacturers
before the contract was made. AS
a result the original proposition was
changed in such a way as to result
in saving to the I. S. government
of $4,000. In addition the decision
to use the Dellwood to transport and
lay this cable will materially reduce
the cost of the project
