HAVE NO PLACE ON STREET

Overhead Telegraph and Trolley Wires Effectually Mar the Beauty of Any Town.

The two accompanying views show concretely the effect in making the city beautiful of the removal of telegraph and trolley wire poles from the main streets. The telegraph and high-

were taken at the intersection of State and Commercial streets, Salem, Ore., before and after the wires and poles were removed. —Popular Mechanics.
