NORTH SHORE BREEZE — 
Io Poles on Lincoln Street 
There will be no telephone poles 
erected on the residential part of Lin- 
coln street, Manchester—for the pres- 
ent, at least. This comes as the result 
of the hearing given before the select- 
men last Saturday night, when the 
board gave the New Eng. Tel. & Tel. 
Co. leave to withdraw their petition, 
which called for right to erect poles 
and wires on Lincoln street to resi- 
dence of Charles E. Fish, to connect 
residences of Messrs. Dennis, Fish 
and Harding. 
Mr. Hammond, the company’s agent, 
represented the petitioners, and he 
was supported only by Messrs. Choate, 
Rust and Harding, the former being 
agent for the house of which Mr. 
Harding is tenant. Mr. Rust sug- 
gested that the poles come up Lincoln 
street from the pumping station to 
Arbella street, then over private prop- 
erty to residences. 
Property owners who spoke strongly 
against the poles were Chas P. Gold- 
smith, Edward Crowell, Leonard An- 
drews, Mrs. Smothers and Messrs. 
Maslin, Younger, Reilly and Sullivan. .

Most all said they favored placing the 
wires underground. 
After the hearing was dissolved the 
selectmen decided to give the petition- 
ers leave to withdraw. 
Our Advertising Columns

ments of the dealers in Christmas 
gifts. ‘Today will be the last oppor- 
tunity to buy before the holiday, and 
a hasty glance through these pages 
will reveal the most opportune places 
to get just the things you are after.

Keeping the Tracks Clear 
Few people, unfamiliar with the 
business, realize the expense and diffi- 
culty of keeping the suburban electric 
lines of New England open during a 
heavy snow storm. The long stretches 
of track running through the sparsely 
settled districts in the country roads 
and along the shore where the wind 
obtains a full sweep forms drifts some- 
times as high as ten feet. During the 
past two years the Boston & Northern 
St. Railway Co. has experimented with 
snow fences in many of the open 
spaces. So effective were they in 
keeping the snow from the tracks that 
no less than ten miles are now being 
erected along the exposed parts of the 
system, in stretches varying from 200 
to 2000 feet, and with the purchase of 
several large rotary snowplows, the 
road is now in a better position to 
keep the tracks clear and furnish 
transportation to the thousands who 
are depending on the electric cars.
