YESTERDAY WE REPORTED TO YOU THAT PENELEC WAS PLANNING TO REPLACE A TELEPHONE POLE IN SAXTON, A POLE WHICH CARRIES POWER TO MUCH OF THE BEDFORD COUNTY COMMUNITY. NOW PENELEC HAS DECIDED TO POSTPONE THAT PROJECT. NO OFFICIAL REASON WAS GIVEN FOR THE POSTPONEMENT, BUT A PENELEC SPOKESPERSON SAID THAT WORKERS DO NOT WORK ON THIS TYPE oF PROJECT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 15 DEGREES. THE PROJECT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE NEXT TUESDAY, BUT HAS BEEN STOPPED FOR NOW. NO NEW DATE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR THE REPLACEMENT ACCORDING TO WTAJ.
