<br /> Board of Public Utilities' approval, is proposed to construct 1.3 miles of twin circuit 69 kV overhead
<br /> transmission lines from Tenth Street at Commerce Avenue to Twelfth Street at Chicago Avenue. The
<br /> balance of the work, 3.2 miles of twin circuit 69 kV transmissions lines, will be submitted to the Board of
<br /> Public Utilities for approval following completion of the plans, specifications, and bidding.
