Salem, Ore., Aug. "15. Announce
roadment was made today by the state
railroad commission that the rules to
be 'formulated with relation to un
derground and overhead crossings of
'railroad, telephone, telegraph and
power wires and with . relation to

will not extend to cities, which have
valid ordinances now on the subject.
But three cities, Hood River, Eugene
and Portland,- now have such ordi
nances, and those in the latter are
said to be contested in the courts.
Another question pertaining to rules
over which there is much controversy
and which, has not been settled, is
whether guy wires should be insulated
or grounded.. .
