PUC decides to lay underground hydro service

meeting on Monday evening
decided to run underground
wires on High Street between
East and Kirk Streets.
The new wiring is in con-

cost of the underground wires
will be $16,000.

are available.
By using underground
wiring the PUC will be
relieved of future main-

was also felt that the street
will look better without the
poles and the PUC will not
have to butcher any trees to
run the overhead wiring.

decided to replace the roof on
the pump house and awarded
the tender to Ken's Car-
pentry.
The pump house has not
been touched in the past 30
years and it is now leaking
and the shingles are falling
off. A new roof will be put on
and the old chimneys taken
off at the cost of $1,425.

received by the PUC for the
position of lineman learner.
The choice has now been
narrowed down to 4 or 5 and
further interviews will be
conducted for the job.
