Four (4) anchors also place two duct tile across Chapin Street. There are no existing pole lines in the section covered in att soled petition, one, of -the Electric company Ad one.of the Telephone Company, Both pole lines are in a bad state of preservation. That portion of these poles lines .that extend east of Chapila Street lie within the boundaries of the UndergroundDistrict, the western boundary being along Chppin Street as far south as Dunn Strse t; In aceordanc6 with City Ordinance creating the Underground District I would recommend that both these pole lines be removed and the service placed underground from Scott Street to the west, side of Chapin Street and from Chap4n' Street to Pine Street the serial construction be such that moth companies will use the same poles, thus reducing the number of poles in this alley.
