BOARD'S EQUIPMENT AND
LINES
TROUBLE CAUSED BY TREES

The engineer explained 'that most of the faults that, did occur were caused by trees and were, therefore, preventable. “We have recently received more co-operation from property owners than We have in the past, hut, unfortunately, there are some who still await a serious accident to awaken them to the danger,” ho added. Trees and power lines both provided mankind with very desirable amenities and there was ample room in the countryside for both, but put in too close proximity and neglected, created a potential danger, as well as unnecessarily increasing the cost of the electrical services.
