MACHINE PLOWS THROUGH SLUSH ON MAIL ROUTE

- Th automobile again proved Its efficiency on the rural routes yesterday when Joseph Pelts, who drives a machine over Route 6. north of the city, was the first to return after delivering his route without a mishap. He returned to the office at 2 o'clock after covering twenty-five miles. Some of the carriers did not return until 7 o'clock. Three of them were unable to finish their deliveries. All carriers started out this morning and as far as can be learned, are experiencing no special difficulty In making the deliveries today despite the fact road conditions are worse than yesterday. All obstructions have been removed, however. No mishaps were reported to Postmaster Beck by any of the carriers yesterday. They reported that hundreds of telephone poles had fallen under the weight of the sleet.- Practically all of the carriers were required to remove wires from the road and bad to go out of their way to get around poles. The roads in all parts of the county were littered with boughs from trees but most of the large obstructions were removed yesterday, Practically all the telephone and telegraph poles had been removed this morning. Tiie carriers experienced considerable trouble in placing the mail in the boxes, wbich had frozen.

EFFECTS OF STORM OVERCOME IN EATON

EA ON, O., Dec. 30. Although conditions locally have been practically returned to normal, the effects of Wednesday's sleet ctorm are yet in evidence throughout the county. The local lighting and telephone companies are busy repairing, their lines, but it will be several days before the usual service is resumed. Manager Cox of the telephone company, states more than two hundred telephones are out of commission. Country lines suffered worst. Power service was resumed Wednesday morning by the lighting company, but all the loops furnishing street service were "out" Wednesday night, and the city was in darkness. Many of the country roads were impassable all day Wednesday.

Yesterday morning at daylight every available man. ih ha company's em-, ploy and every other man they could secure was sent out on -wrecking trains to clear the right of way and at the tame ttme all the linemen that could be'gpthered together were start

ed out. Last night - twenty-two linemen who had been working since daylight stayed at the Arlington hotel at the expense of the company. These men had been out all day straightening out the tangle on this division. Every other division sent out their men and. so long as daylight lasted they were kept busy. The company does not care about the expense it is put to. It Is serving the public and it would sooner spend hundreds of dollars rather than have Its service tied up. t ...

WIRE

Continued From Paae One. but Supt. Klelnknecht decided it would be unsafe to use the street lights because of the many fallen wires. "I have no doubt that If the street lights had been used last night somebody would have been electrocuted and fires would probably have resulted," the city plant manager said today. The city plant and the Light, Heat & Power company have practically repaired all damage done to their outside construction work. It was hazardous work for the linemen but all escaped without mishap. Quite a number of poles became heavily charged by fallen, wires. One man living on North Tenth street, north of the railroad, was severely shocked when he turned on an electric lamp in his home yesterday. A primary wire had fallen over the secondary wire entering his home. A number of people received slight shocks from charged telephones and by handling drop lights. That the demoralization of the city's wiring service did not result in a number of deaths and serious accidents is regarded very remarkable. Falls On Pavement. The only serious accident to result from the storm was sustained by Giltner Herschel, a visitor in the city, who fell upon the ice covered pavement in front of the post office being severely stunned and bruised. He was taken to Reid hosnital In the city ambulance. His condition was very satisfactory today. The worst havoc wrought by the storm is to be seen on the Liberty pike. Practically every pole between Richmond and Liberty broke down under the weight of ice -and the onslaughts of the sharp gflle. early yesterday morning. The telephone company Is to erect a concrete pole every place where one of the timber poles has fallen.
