This arrange-ment consists in eliminating alternate poles on oppo-site sides of the street so that the span wires extenddiagonally across the street from pole to pole support-ing a trolley wire at intervals of 90 ft., although thespacing between two poles on the same side of thestreet is 180 m Electric Jly.

The poles are 28 ft. long set 6 ft. in the are made of standard pipe 7 in. x 6 in. x 5 in. andweigh 634 lb. The wire is maintained at the standardheight of 18 ft. with a maximum sag of 6 in.
