§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Postmaster-General whether he will in future accede to all reasonable representations to remove wires placed over houses; and, if not, what steps can the private person take to get them taken down?
53W
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHThe Telegraph Acts provide for the removal or alteration of wires interfering with building or other alterations to a house; and all bona fide applications for removal of this character are complied with. The interests of the public service would not, however, permit me to forgo the right conferred by the Acts to run wires over houses.
