Electric Company to Remove Wires at McLean Residence
Washington and Electric Company vice president Gen George H Harries informed the Commissioners the wires supplying light to John R McLean’s Tenalytown road home will be removed to avoid friction or litigation. He says this does not acknowledge District right to compel removal when wires allegedly interfere with police and fire services. Commissioner Macfarland welcomed compliance but rejected the company’s claim and pledged future removal of wires when deemed dangerous.
