Electric Poles and Wires Rights of Towns and Cities
Massachusetts hearing on regulating electric poles and wires continues. Hemenway advocates central authority or court of final appeal for locations benefiting small towns. Boston Citizens' Association seeks stronger city supervision and a location tax. A proposed city officer would regulate overhead wires, inspect safety, issue notices, and remove unsafe or dead wires after delays at the owner's expense. Plans and records of wire locations would be kept and used for permit decisions.

Electric Freight Railway Petition From Fall River West End Charter
The Committee on Railroads heard A A Glazier and others petitioning for incorporation to build a freight or electric road in Fall River with $500,000 capital. Ex Mayor James F Jackson appeared as counsel and petitioner. Proponents envision linking with Old Colony tracks by consent and improving cotton mill transport. President Choate supported the bill, arguing it would reduce excessive teaming and improve business. The committee postponed action on the zone fare plan to Friday to accommodate Quincy.
