Last Laugh May Be Best
WOODBRIDGE N J The long attempt to string a fire alarm cable through a 738 foot pipe under the New Jersey Turnpike failed again as workers switched from animals to pneumatic methods. A Hawkins Company spokesman said a test with a pneumatic fishline would finish in 30 seconds, but an expansion joint inside the pipe hindered progress. Earlier in the year rats and mongooses were used unsuccessfully in attempts to pull the cable through the conduit.
