P. Spur Red Tape Blamed for Delay Court Backs Engineer. Jackson county this morning be gun lite trucking of machinery for its roud oil heating plant Iron) tho ninth end of the city to the south end because the Postal Telegraph company pole In the middle of a Southern Pacific railroad spur light of way, as yet has not been unraveled Irom & mass of red tape. The county Is caused considerable oxpense by the trucking, but It 1h necessitated In order lo expedite the work. "As soon as tho plant 1b installed und ready for heating the oil, I cm going to rent a lineman and move that pole, come what may," said County Kngineer Paul Rynulng this morning. The county court backs him In this attitude, but no one ugreed "to help pull one end ot the saw to cut It down." County officials further said that the road oiling program had been delayed by Inability to move the pole themselves or Induce anybody else to do It The county secured permission from the Richfield Oil company to move the pole," ub it is on their 'Property, and offered to move1 tho polsi at county expense uuder the supervision ot the Postal Telegraph company, but the proposition was rejected. Legal Obstacle In the opinion ot county officials "the nigger In the telegraph pole" Is a legal one, the telegraph com pany desiring to Becure an ease ment on the right of wy from the. Richfield Oil company, which would take about 00 days In the ordinary speed of procedure. . This Is too long for the county to wait to start its road oiling program, ' . "I received a telegram from It. R. Patton, superintendent ot the Pacific Coast division ot the Pos tal Telegraph company, stating that the company was not stand ing in tile Way of progress, but the pole Is still where It has been for many yoars. The Richfield Oil company gave me permission to move the pole, so they are not to blame," said Engineer Rynnlng. "The oil company don't give a darn what happens to the pole." The county engineer said : the moving ot the pole was a simple Job. It was expected that the heavy oiling, of the unpaved portion ot the Ruch highway and the Sams Valley highway would be complet ed before the Fourth ot July travel until the pole controversy started. Fear More Delay The Ollmore Oil company sur mounted a similar difficulty in run ning a spur to their property by twisting a pole In their road until It pointed toward Jacksonville, In stead ot the sun, permitting a clear ance for oil tank cars. . The pole Issue waa a subject ot an Informal discussion at the regu lar meeting of the county court today, largely devoted to the trans action of routine business. The Postal Telegraph company declares it Is not responsible for the non-removal ot the pole, the de lay being caused solely by the pro visions of the law regarding such matters which the company must observe. ) BEVERLY HILLS, July-9.
