"DRUNKEN” POLES.
- -f ' UTILITARIAN, BUT UGLY. UNDERGROUND LINES? A complaint against the unaestliutic appearance of the hydro-electric power lines in the Levin district was made by Mr W. H. P. Barber at. the meeting! of the Hutt Valley Power Board. ' ' . . “I came down the Manaw-atu the. other day,” hie said, “and, though it may be defended from.an engineering point of view, it looks very ugly to'see these poles leaning in every direction.. I hope it can he avoided 111 this district.” The engineer: You have got to throw the poles over at an angle against the strain. Mr Barber; I think it would even look better to have the poles stayed, provided they were straight. We are always talking about beautifying) the district, but these pole lines will not help in that direction. We will never get over the trouble until we put. the lines underground.
