10 WIRE REMOVAL MOVESSWIFTLY Walnut Street Should Be Clear by End of the Month All overhead wires and poles of the American Telephone and Tele graph company, in Walnut street from the river to the eastern city line and beyond to Penbrook should re moved by the last of August, City Electrician Clark E. Diehl said to day. Work on the removal of the over head lines has been started and many of the wires and some of the poles are down already. Cable lines from Court and Walnut streets to the river have been placed by the company and will be connected soon so that the overhead system between those points oan be taken down also in the near future. Removal of city wires and poles in the downtown district probably will be delayed a few weeks because of the work caused by the change of police headquarters, necessitating moving the fire and police alarm systems. Cable for these lines has been shipped from Wilkes-Barre and will be received here in a few days. The Harrisburg Light and Power company will be in a position to take down many poles and overhead wires also this month, Mr. Diehl said and may start the work soon.

I am getting cards and letters from residents complaining about the light service. In addi tton%to the outages, many lights do not give proper illumination and you must get close to the light to see if it is burning. "There is a shortage of lights in the city, of course, and there are many requests for new lights, but we can't provide them with the present appropriation. The .resi dents are entitled to good service on the present lights. We deduct for outages but that is no convenience to the taxpayers. They pay for the lights and want them."
