To economize current and to reduce to a minimum,interference with telephone circuits, the return circuit tothe ground was thoroughly made b} an improvement onthe Sabold system, driving galvanized iron pipe, sevenfeet long, every fifteen feet and connecting them to thecentre of one and the bond-wire of the other rail.
