More Poles Come Down as
Wires Go Underground
Three large poles in Third street,
I two south of Market and one just
north of Market street, were removed
this week, City Electrician Clark E.
Diehl stating the wires had been re
placed by underground cables. Ex
tensive plans /for removal rif manv
of the tall poles in Third and Wal
nut streets are practically complete
Mr. niehl said, but at present no cable
can be obtained from manufacturing
companies as there are a number of
government orders to be filled. The
city has an order placed for enough
cable to replace the police and tire
alarm wires from polic# headquar
ters to Court street, and then north
to Libert sttreet, but the order will
not be tilled for at least a month lie
cause of the government work.

Insurance Board
Must Give Consent:
Officials of the State Insurance
Fund Board said to-day that if Miles
M. Dawson, the new York actuarial
expert, detailed by Auditor Gen
eral Charles A. Snyder to make
an audit of the books of the fund,
want to start work he will have to
get tile permission of the board in
charge of the fund first. The chairman
of the board is Harmon M. ICephart,
the State Treasurer, who is ill at his
hotel here. The board may not meet
until January.
Mr. Dawson came here last night
and inquired at the offices of the
fund when he could begin. He was
referred to the board. The Auditor
General's Department declares that
Dawson made no effort to secure the
books, but just came to look over the
field. The fund officers say that he
wanted to start in. Auditor General
Snyder says that when the time comes
tjje audit will be made.
The fund officers have asked Attor
ney General Brown for an opinion as
to the powers of the Auditor General
to refuse to pay clerks unless he is
shown that they are necessary, and
the advice informally given by the
chief law officer rather indicates that
if Mr. Snyder persists in his attitude
there will be* a fight. Some of the
people at the Capitol have started to
say that any attack on the fund is a
blow at the compensation system, and
therefore at labor. Mr. Snyder says
that is nonsense, as all he wants to
secure is economy.
