LIVE ELECTRIC WIRES | IN WAY OF BUILDERS Will Be Lifted From Position to Street Level to Facilitate Gov- ernment Improvement. | | { AT i Wires through which pulse all the | electric power and light for down-/| town Washington will be dug out of the | ground and laid on top of the street | under 2 wooden sidewalk directly soutl, of the Post Office Department as an | unusual and rather unexpected devel-| opment in the great Federal public building program With most of the excavation for the | Internal Revenue Building, south of the | Post Office Department, completed, it developed that the Potomac Electric Power Co.'s principal conduit, leading from the Benning power plant to the | downtown distributing station at Feur- teenth and B streets, under the | sidewalk on the north side of the In- ternal Revenue Bureau site, which is to be excavated for the new building. Hurried co-operation on the part of both Treasury and Potomac Electric Power Co. officials arranged a plan whereby the conduit will be dug up and | laid on top of the street with a side- walk running over it. A crew of workmen began work early this morning on the site, and will work at full speed throughout today, tomor- row and Sunday, with the expectation that the big conduit may be unearthed Monday and taken out of the way of the advancing steam shovels, so that the excavation work may be finished. Be- hind the steam shovels is an advancing army of machinery and workmen, with pile drivers, foundation footings and cement mixers, following one another around the huge excavation, working top speed on the big contract, for the $10,000,000 building. As a matter of actual connection for the light and power for the whole downtown area, a new conduit will be constructed on top of the ground for carrying the current, and the old one will be cut and connected to the new one. The temporary expedient of laying this highly important conduit on top of the street was resorted to for many reasons, including the necessity for speed, and the fact that the Potomac | Electric Power Co. must move its down- | town station and headquarters offices | to make way for the Department of Labor’s new home.
