New lines for National uses Brooks insulators, Manhattan uses Tillotson insulators

New Lines.

Mr. ROBERT BROWN, telegraph contractor, has completed the National Company's line to Philadelphia. It works well - having been constructed in a substantial manner with American compound wire and Brooks' improved paraffin insulators.

Mr. Brown has also just completed an extension of the Manhattan Company's line to Newark, N. J. This line is built with No. 7 American compound wire, on Tillotson's screw glass insulators, with brackets, and is run on the poles of the National Company from Sixty-seventh street and Sixth avenue, New York, and using a spare cable wire of that company across the Hudson, Hackensack and Passiac river.
