Wires to be removed by electric company at request
General George H. Harries, vice president of the Washington and Electric Company, informs the District Commissioners the firm will remove overhead wires supplying light to John R. McLean’s Tenaltyntown road residence to avoid friction. He says this is not a departure from the District’s right to compel removal when wires endanger police and fire services. Commissioner Macfarland welcomes compliance but rejects the company's broader claim, noting future removals will occur when wires are deemed dangerous.

The measure, not to take effect immediately, aims to reduce street dirt and resident discomfort, with a possible start date around January 1, 1906, as the city spends large sums cleaning up dirt from wagons.
