No longer will the amateur rad io bjgs be allowed to string wires across streets, over housetops ami between roots at their ow n free w ill and without supervision, it was decided by I ho city commis sion at the, regular session lust evening. A city ordinance, passed about a year ago. which lias remained virtually idle on the books since, is to bu strictly enforced in the future. The ordinance requires a permit from the city recorder be fore the antennae may be erected. This permit is issued without cost. When the aerial Is to be erected near light or power lines, the ordi nance requires that a regular, li- censed lineman be employed to . place the wires up in compliance, with the regular specifications forj safety. The ordinance lias been in cf-j feet for some time bit has not i( been enforced. The , action was! taken by the commission in re-1 spouse to u complaint by Jean!
