Construction of New High Line by Browning Humphreys
The Consumers Public Service Company of Brookfield is erecting a new line along routes 5 and 6 to Humphreys via Reger. A carload of poles arrived last week, and work is under way to string wires and relocate the line from the current path. The project aims to improve service, provide emergency energy north of the line, and reduce outages. Local foremen Cox, Smith, and Markham lead the effort with extra crews and material reallocation for extensions and repairs.
