To the Editor:

It was heartening indeed to hear of the gallant and successful efforts of PSE&G workers to rescue an elderly lady from her all-electric home. However, if the lines were underground the power would not have been lost. Maybe it is cheaper, as PSE&G claims, to keep repairing downed lines rather than burying them, but it is not cheaper for residents and the inconvenience is enormous. European countries do not have this problem. Maybe Princeton council can do something to push PSE&G into the 20th century or even the 21st!
