Not the electric light

To those townsmen and visitors who may think that the cables now being laid in the High Street are for the supply of electric light, it is pointed out that the cables are being laid for the Post Office authorities.

We understand that the telephone poles are now carrying their maximum amount of wires, and the new cables will connect up telephone subscribers to the Buntingford Post Office. 

It must be some years since the paving which commences at the top of Church Street was removed en masse, and it is a pity that during the excavations some of it was broken.
