Conduit Lines Being
Installed In City
Installation of underground
conduit lines for the Sixth st.
mercury lighting system is ex
pected to be completed in two
to three weeks, California
Oregon Power company offi
cials said Saturday.
During the past two weeks
construction crews have re
placed the lines installed
about 35 years ago. Copco
spokesmen have noted that
these lines have given "a
great deal of trouble."
The electrical company has
contracted the installation of
the pipe, but will install the
wire themselves.
Copco added that the to
tal cost of the change will be
about $15,000, and will in
volve nearly all of the street
lighting on Sixth st. Two sep
arate lines are being laid,
one on each side of the South
ern Pacific railroad tracks.
Officials noted that they were
not going to change the con
duit under the tracks.
Although most of the city
lighting facilities are wired
"overhead," more and more
downtown and subdivision
service is being carried under
ground. With the completion
of the Sixth st. operations,
most of all of the mercury
system will be underground.

In an attemDt to slow his

into the rear end of his wife's
truck.
This caused her to swerve
