afternoon before they were untangled.
Following this E. Roy got Mr.Freres’
permission to cut tbe big trees on that
corner, and in tbe operation o f felling
the first one, the workmen let it come
down across the wires taking the cor­
ner pole down and breaking an electric
light wire.
It will probably be several days be­
fore the damage ia repaired. In the
meantime all the lines coming in from
