TO
CARRY
ot
WIRE

The
divisional
superintendent
of
government
Telegraphs
had
a
communication
before
the
city
council
last
night
inquiring
If
the
city
had
the
facilities
to
pick
up
repeater
telegraphic
circuits,
the
approach
of
which
to
the
local
terminals
Is
to
be
rerouted,
and
carry
them
to
Uie
terminals.
At
present
the
circuits
come
In
by
way
of
McBrlde
Street.
Now
the
approach
is
to
be
changed
to
Westview.
The
council
went
on
record
as
having
no
objection
to
city
pole
lines
being
used
to
carry
the
telegraphic
circuits
but
the
cable
lines
would
have
to
be
increased
to
handle
them.
