UNDERGROUND WIRES, 
Telephone Company petitions Manchester 
Selectmen. Hearing Last Night. 
What will probably prove to be the 
first move toward placing the tele- 
phone wires in the principal streets of 
Manchester underground was taken 
last night, when there was a hearing 
before the Board of Selectmen upon 
the petition of the New England Tele- 
phone and Telegraph Co., to lay the 
wires from 120 feet beyond the Boston 
& Maine tracks on Beach street, 
through Beach to Union, and on Union 
from the pole opposite the Cheever 
house to the pole opposite A. C. 
Needham’s. 
Fred K. Swett, clerk of the board 
presided in the absence of Chairman 
Allen. 
Mr. Hammond, representing the 
telephone company, made known the 
desire of the company, and asked that 
an answer be made as soon as possible. 
Supt. Kimball of the street depart- 
ment wished, if the petition be granted, 
the conduits be laid as near the elec- 
tric company’s conduits as possible, as 
that portion of the street has recently 
been tora up. 
F. M. Andrews, representing the 
Water department objected to having 
the conduits within 5 feet of the 
water pipes. 
Raymond C. Allen, representing 
the Manchester Electric Company, 
objected to laying the conduits within 
3 feet of their conduits. 
Acting-Chairman Swett said he 
thought the board would soon come 
to some decision. He didn’t believe 
in making a hasty decision to any cor- 
poration, therefore the decision of the 
meeting will be laid over till later. He 
also said the board would object to 
any poles being left on the street. 
The object of laying the wires un- 
derground now arises out of the change 
the telephone company is soon to make 
in Manchester — that of changing the 
central exchange from Lee’s to Pulsi- 
fer’s block. 
Messrs. Wyatt and Trowt returned 
from Canada the first of the week with
