This new publicat‘son contains many articles of general interect in regard to Canaâ€" da‘s fisheries. t is the intention to issue it each month. This week Chief McLauchlan asks that the public be informed that the practisce of posting bills on telephone and power line posts must be disconâ€" tinued. The practice is against the law and those who engage in it are liable to prosecution, but the police do not wich to use the force of law in the matter at present believing that this practice, which has becme very comâ€" mon recently, is done by many good people without realizing the danger they are creatingz. The chief believes that if the people knew just the risk they were making for others they would themselves avoid the danger by strictâ€" ly re‘raining altozether from the pracâ€" tice. The posting of bills on telephone and power line posts is against the law and there is, of ccourse, a special reason for this, even apart from the appearâ€" ance of the property of the companies conceined. The reason is the danger created for the lins:men who have to climb the pole. The posters are usuâ€" ally put up with tacks and these tacks form a decided danger for the men who have to climb the poles. The linesmen using the spurs to go up cr down the poles are in constant danger of a seriâ€" ous or perhaps fatal fall through tacks cn the poles. The spurs striking these tacks are turned and may slip down ‘he pole with the everâ€"constant possiâ€" bility of an accident that all would d@esply regret. The linesmen who strikes his spurs very energetically is also in danger of the spur being deâ€" flected by the tack anrd hitting the c‘ther leg with undesirable results. The power and phone companies have been goodâ€"tempéred about the use of their poles, but every once in a while they have made energetic protest., Th‘is has been wholly on behalf of the safety of their linesmen. The fact is, as any linesman knows, that tacks and nails on ‘the poles, add so materially to the hazard of the work of climbing that no one who stops to consider the question will blame the companies for strictly enforcing their rights to prosecute those illegally using the poles. It should be remembered also that the companies have no time or opportunity to examine bills posted to see whether their postâ€" ing constitutes a danger or not. It seems to be a case where the only pracâ€" tical way is to enforce the regulation altogether forbiddinzg the use of the poles for bill posting. This makes for the safety and convenience of the linesâ€" men. The fact that some bills are properly put up and the work done in such a way that there is no risk creatâ€" ed has no bearing on the case. The truth is that the greater part of this thoughtless use of the poles constitutes a menace to the sa‘ety of linesmen and so should be forbidden as required by law.
