It was the intention of this department to equip twenty sta- 

 tions with steel towers and arrangements were made accord- 

 ingly. But as the season was exceptionally dry and expenses 

 were extra heavy, it was thought advisable to postpone the 

 erection of steel towers on the following seven stations until the 

 spring of 1915 :
