Cuyahogans Cool on
Hot Wire Measure
By Francis Sullivan
State Senator
COLUMBUS Responding
to the wishes of the people of
Cleveland and Euclid, Cuya
hoga senators cast five votes
against the “hot wires” hill
when it passed in the state
senate by a 22-9 vote this
week.
Mayors Locher of Cleveland
and Sims of Euclid, as well
as sixty other mayors, opposed
this bill because it allows the
utility companies to circum
vent local officials in deter
mining where high tension
.vires will go when they pass
"hrough a municipality.
The bill gives utility com
panies the right to appeal to
he Public Utilities Commission
Ohio if their lines would
pass through five municipali
ties.
Senator Joseph Bartunek (D
Cuyahoga) combined with Sen
ator Kline Roberts (R-Frank
lin) to lead the fight against
the bill. The five Cuyahogans
were joined by two other Dem
ocrats and two Republicans to
provide nine votes against the
bill.
The measure now goes to
