BY JOHN B. FISKEN.[Concluded.] is a subject that is always deserving of verygreat consideration, and involves a great many fac-tors. The more nearly a line approaches a straightline the better, both on account of saving in costs,and more particularly on account of being more re-liable and having better operating features. Sharpcorners and turns should always be avoided for thereason that they call for special and expensive con-struction. A tower, unless specially designed to with-stand the downward stress imposed by a guy should. Map Showing- Location of Little Falls Tie Line. never be guyed except in a horizontal direction. Theauthor has this fact impressed upon him by seeingsome towers very badly deformed by being guyedwhen no provision had been made in the design forthese unusual strains. As a general rule a line should be built straighteven though it should cross private property, pro-vided the cost of the necessary right of way does notexceed the cost of building by another route. Thecost of the right of way may in many cases, from anoperating standpoint, exceed considerably the savingby building around, but the amount of this excess isalmost impossible of estimating and has to be left tothe judgment of the locating engineer. A right ofway has to be acquired when towers are to be used asthese cannot be located on country roads. The map shows the direction of the line and makesthe location easily understood. Right of Way.
