Two No. 9 B.W.G. steel telephone wires are carried on 2-pinarm below the power wires with suitable clearance. The spacing of poles is 176 feet. The line parallels the Canadian National Railways from a point iy2 milessouth-east of Trenton to Picton. At the Murray Canal the conductors are supportedin a horizontal plane by two steel towers 145 feet in height so as to give a clearanceabove the water of 125 feet.
