EXPENSIVE MISCHIEF
SMASHED INSULATORS. Paced with an expenditure of over £6OO last year for the replacement of approximately 7000 smashed telegraph line insulators, the Post Office is seeking the co-operation of every citizen in an effort to discourage the actions of children and other irresponsible persons who, without thought for the serious consequences, make targets of these useful appliances. Their destruction involves not only loss of material normally capable of giving many years’ service, but causes heavy expense in locating the fault, and serious inconvenience to the public through interruptions of telephone and telegraph communication.
The police of the Dominion are keeping a sharp watch on offenders, but the best safeguard to the great network of electrical circuits spreading all over the Dominion is the realisation on the part of everyone that what appears to be trivial damage to telegraph lines indy cause serious hardship and loss.
