WIRE REMOVAL
AROUSES
P. j. c.

One Of the first questions that
will be brought to4the attention Of
the newly named public utilities
commissioners when they take office
is the removal of all overhead high.
tension installations.
The present commission has be-
fore 1t the question of permitting
the electric company to keep its
high-tension lines on Beaning Road
Northeast.
For some months citizens in that
vicinity have been urging the com.
mission to- order the overhead high.
tension lines underground. The
company, on the other hand. pro.
tests that change from overhead
to underground at this time will
mean an exhorbitant outlay Ct
money.
In memorandum the present
Commission indicates that at this
time It does not feel that It cares
to work any hardship on the power
company and then goes on. to state
that, in the future, IL the road is
widened and the poles mar the
topography Of the highway, then
the high tension lines should be
placed underground.
Overhead high tension wires have
always been thorn in the side of
the fire department, officials OF that
department declaring that such con-
Quits offer deadly hazard to the
men battling fires along thorough
fares on which the high tension
lines are strung.

 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon.
