Electrical Safeguards Under Scrutiny by City Committee

The committee on electric aid reported findings from a December hearing in the aldermanic chamber. They note that most utility firms favor protecting overhead wires entering buildings with insulated conductors or safety fuse protectors. While two electric companies insulated their lines, Western Union and others failed to install protectors for customer-owned wires. Telephone and Edison firms show protections in their offices and plan rapid rollout to customers. The hearing demonstrated dangerous dead wires and potential risks to trolley lines, with limited proof of protections beyond utility offices.
