once andsdeilberatlonrmlght be sought
as a medium by which to compare the
overhead lines of the lighting company
if the purpose were simply to criti-
cise contrasting differences without
taking into account the considerable
time the company has been in exis-
‘iiut’ Would such a comparison
be just, when it is remembered that
these specifications are the recent cul-
mination of the whole past experience
of trials, errors and constant persist-
ence for betterment, which have evolv-
as almost; revolutionary progress in
one yearls advancement over another
in the gaining mastery of electricity?
If not. then the writer assumes that
the only accessible alternative was for
him toastisfy himself, by deliberate
investigationpwhether or not the pole
lines or the lighting company are
maintained upon a scale of safety and
progresslveness, consistent with the
reasonable requirements'of such pur-
pose and with due recognition of op-
posing obstacles.
With this thought in mind reviewed
the evolutionary steps notable in the
lighting company' s overhead constluc-
tion; each representative ota different
period in electrical evolution and in
the company's extensive career. From
such an angle of observation the indie
cations were that each type of Con-
struction conformed to the progress of
its time.
Like most things of other years.
however, old methods, though still too
useful to be deemed‘obsolete', are
prone to stand in contrast with the illi-
provements that experience and suc-
ceeding necessity have yielded.
Instances there were of old wires

free from undue sagging, securely tied
in, and generally "‘weli cared for.
Though no instances were noted at
lurking dangers from deficient-insu-
lation, still there is a certain element
of risk in the,,use of a bare wire, even
when out of reach or not deemed lla-
ble to come ill contact with other on
jerts. A practice too much followed
by electric lighti ,‘power and true
lion companies generally, and the
writer was pleIrlsIeI'd to learn that much
old wire hnsI directly been replaced

ter weather conditions “are all that
hindered the continuatwn of such re-

Pole interference.
Attention is particularly called to a
number of poles of the trolley com-
pany on Myrtle avenue and Summer
street, which extend up into wires not
supported by them, as (lid the trolley
iotlipally‘s pole ill Jefferson street
which contributed to the cause of the
death that befall Francisco Maturi and
Giuseppe Gaudia
Iliad the trolley company’s two on
bles ill Jefferson street been attached
to all of the lighting company's poles,
as they were to most of them, the ac
cldental double death might have been
prevented.
Tree Trimming.
As for the tree problem, Stamford,
one of the most; beautiful of Conner»
ticut's wealth of foliaged cities, and
its environs, are justly famed for their
miles. and miles of wooded streets.
But in and out. among these trees,
wires wind and zig-cag ill what would
appear to the uninitiated, an unsys-
tematic and unnecessary fashion of
complexity. Right here please let the
writer interiect that he was raised
among trees and, loving them the more
as the yearsroll on, he dreads to see
them needlessly cut, chated or char
red. by charged wires that have be-
‘come loosened by the swaying limbs
and strained supports that never were
right. but had to be resorted 'to in a
usually vain attempt to keep the wires
away from trunks and large limbs.
the
guidance of proper authorities would
not only benefic thertre'es, ‘make title
streets more attractive by eliminating
the scrubby, unkempt appearance of
many of the trees, but also give suf-
ficient space for the wires to pass with-
out coming in contact with them
When wires have to run in such close
contact with trees as they do in Stam-
ford, electrical leaks cannot bo effec-
tively prevented. The lighting com-
pany consequently Butters some loss
of current, biit that is not the worst of
it; the direlul fact is that some time
an electrical connection, unnoticed,
will be established between a 'wire car
vying the high primary potential and
an otherwise harmless secondary wire
Then, in a flash, the nlostspeedy of
all deaths will come to someone, per-
haps ill a home nearby, possibly at a
distance.
The writer attempted to enumerate
the striking examples of this kind bllt
concluded to image such a lengthy
. task when it dawned upon him that it
would involve the copying of a large
part of the street directory of the tyre
towns. indeed, it 'wculd be a {brief

The public is not wholly blameless
for both at the needlesst bad condi

safety, at least. it should take the sit
