To the editor:

Many of your readers must be getting a chuckle out of the utility pole photographs accompanying Nancy Griffin’s article on the electricity problems on Maine’s islands. The pictures show great views of the telephone cables on the poles, but the electric wires are hardly visible way above, running from the tops of the poles.
