We presume the now ordinance which Has passed the Council authorizing tha Mutual Union ‘Telegraph Company to ereeé “n tem- vorery’pole Ine” {nto and throught the Clty of Chiengo will bo slanod by the Mayor, since it is said to be framed to sult the sug- gestions he mado after vetoing tho flrst ordl- nance. It ls certalnty an improvement upon the loose and sweeping priviloges granted in tho vetoed ordinance, Inasniueh ‘as It fixes a thne (March 1, 1883) when the poles may be “yemoved,” as Gulteau would say; requires that the company shall be Mable for all dam ages to private property Incident to the eree- tlon of the voles, and stipulates that the company shall always submit to tho direc- tlon of the Mayor or the Convnissioner of Public Works in erecting and mulntaining the poles, At the same thind wo have little contidence in the “tomporary” character of tha privileges which the ordinance extends, and think {{ more likely that the company willbe able to obtain an extension before the Stmltation shall dxpire, just as it has secured in this {ugtanee a ddparture from the general ordinauco profiblting tho furthor ercetion of talegraph poles, and that “vested rights" will be acquired undor the ordinance which will prevent even a willing Mayor from tearing down and destroying tho polus and wires at the expiration of the fixed term, ‘The powerful Inflnénce which the Afutual Unlon Company was able to axurelse tn the Councll was lustrated not only by the pas- sage of tho ordinance by 8 vote of 21 to 13, but also by the efforts which woro made to strike out the restrictions, and the prompt ness with which an amendment was voted down that proposetl ta make tha company pay $33 a year for every polo erceted, Two or throe of the Aldurmen conducted thom- selves In a manner to indicate that some- thing very fmportant depended — tion the passigea of tho ordinance, and seomed to be considethbly amore con- cerned about the tnterests of the tole- graph company than the Interests of the elty which they are supposed to ropresent, Itimay be nasumed that the dxemptloti of tha Mutual Unfoti Coinpany from tho operation of tho genoral ordinance will lead to an ex- tension of tho saine privilege of exemption to the Western Union Company, to the rall- road companies, to teluphone compantes, and all others whodeslroto vract additional poles. ‘Tho result with be that tolegraph poles will continue to inerease and ntultiply, and tho gradual extingtilshment contemplated by the prohibition of atl new poles will be as remote as before the prolilbltory ordinance was passed, Wa think: It will be dimeult for Mayor farrison to reconcite an approval of the new ofdlnanee with the strong tensoning of his messuze accompanying his-veto of the other ordinancy, nutwithstanding tho apparent re strletions which have been Incotpotated, ‘The merits of the case. may be bribily Te- stated as follows: It‘ hns been. fotind essential to tho safety arid well-being’ of tho elty that tho orectlon of telegraph poles be prohibited; it Is cutirely provticable, though -} somuwhatinore expousive, to bring electric Wires [uta the clty uiulorgrotind, conse: quently the excoption made fn fayor of the Mutual Unton {3 annecessary, as it Is cere tainly undesirable, If the Mayor Js detor- julued to slgit the ordinance In the face of his own arguments, and seemingly (n deftincedt his own convictiona ag to tho policy Involved, ‘Tw ‘Tamune enh do no mote thon enter a tinnl protest, and the peopic of Clilengo thay as well nbandon the hope of getting rid of the polo ovil until such time as the telegraph compantes. alsall, find it to thelr own advan tago to lay tholr wires tnderground, ILLINOIS AND OHTO, ‘The following absurd statement was mado in a WVashingtou illspateh fo an ovening news ‘papor ayecnealays ‘ PF ye Sa Cousus- figures show.
