OF Committee Oh Public Buildings-Tele-
To the Honorable President and Common
Council:
Your committee to whom the matter of
telephone service for the city was referred
respectfully report:
After having had an interview with c. d.
Jones, superintendent for Telephone Com
pany, we find, as represented by him, tele-
phones located il the different city offices as
follows: Mayors Office, City Clerks, City
Engineer. Chief of Police and Building In
spector's office. 1t appears that some of
these telephones have been paid for monthly
until recently.
Your committee recommend that one tele-
phone be taken out of the Chief of Police Of
flee, and placed in the office of President
of Board Of Health, and by so doing will not
increase the number of telephones in service
and will supply the wants of the different
city offices.
This gives the city six telephones in service,
all of which your Committee recommended
be furnished and maintained in good work
ing order by the Telephone Company to
the city free of all charges.
