The Honorable Board of Public Works
South Bend, Indiana.
Gentlemen: -
Mr. Thom4s Beaning 4ncl I have made an investigation of the under -ground dis-
tr ict as requested by your board.
The Postal Telegraph Co. still have over -head wires on Lincoln Way Easton
Chapin St., and on La Porte Ave.
fhe Chicago ,South Bend & Northern Indiana Ry..Coo have apparently not done
anything to place th:;ir feed wires.,telephone wires, or signal wire underground.
The business district the Postal Telegraph and the Western Union have call
wires crossing the main streets..These wires are .not attached to any poles but run
frommone building to the other.
The_Chicago,Lake Shore & South Bend Ry. have telephone wires Which are
not underground.
There has been nothing done on Division St. by the Grand Trunk Western
or the Western Union Telegraph Co, towards placing the wires on that street underground.
The three blue prints that I an submitting indicate where we found over
head construction still in existance belonging to the Home Telephone Co., The Central
Union , and the Indiana & Michigan Electric Co.
At some of the points inhere triese companys show over head construction
they have their conduits in but have not yet placed their wires in them.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK J. ANDERSON,
City Engineer.

and Mr. McWilliams of the Cutter Company appeared before the Board and presented a out d
