NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Indiana Towns Being Supplied-Indian-
apOlis Central Point.

James E. Keelyn, president of the West
ern Telephone Construction Company. of
Chicago, is at the Bates. The COM
pany has recently begun extensive OPP
erations in this State in organizing local
telephone exchanges in the various cities
within a radius of one hundred miles of
this city. The company makes telephone
apparatus and sells 1t outright to these
companies. There is to be one syndicate OF
telephone toll lines connecting these vari-
Gus cities. In the cities local companies
will be organized TO build local exchanges,
the capital for which will be furnished by
the citizens Of the places. These local ex
changes obtain service with the various
cities through the connecting company. The
cost of the service varies from sl2 a year
to $24 and in some places $50. The PROPOSE
ton Of the local companies includes service
with metallic circuits throughout They
will also furnish public telephone stations,
affording a means of service for patrons
whose business does not warrant the rent
ing Of a phone. In the larger cities these
public stations will be established in every
block. The toll for this public service
ranges from 1 to cents a call for five
minutes. They also propose to furnish SER
vice for fire and burglar alarms between
the premises of their subscribers.
The toll-line syndicate will build all me-
talllc circuits and equip the lines so as TO
give adequate service for all purposes.
They will give connection for small as well
as large places, and so arrange that farm
ers as we'll as business men can build
their own lines from the nearest toll sta
ton and get direct connection with the
whole system.
The system involves the sale OF the APP
paratuS to the subscriber in great many
cases The purchaser obtains the necessary
telephone apparatus and wires, and owns
and controls them to the nearest toll-line
point, and then pays for such service as
he uses at so much call, ranging from
to % cents. The plan is for the patrons to
organize a stock company and conduct the
business, a fiat rate per telephone being
established. If the rentals are more than
sufficient to pay the operating expenses, the
excess is rebated pro rata.
1t ia said that the telegraph companies
are preparing TO furnish telephone service
between large cities on a comprehensive
system, somewhat different from the pres
ent long-distance system. The principal
cities will be the terminal points of these
lines, and the telephone toll lines will fur
nish connection with the local exchange.
Since the expiration of some of the tele-
phone patents there has been a number of
new telephone devices put upon the market.
IL is claimed for some of these that they
are superior to the old telephone. Steps
have been taken to organize a local ex-
change in this city. 1t is anticipated that
there will be some trouble in securing the
necessary ordinances, but the company
hopes to accomplish this.

A DRIVE TO THE PARK
SHELBY STREET ORDERED PAVED
WITH ASPHALT TO RAYMOND.
A boulevard Pavement from south to
North City Limits-TOmlinson
Hall Sewerage.

The Board of Public Works yesterday
passed a resolution for the asphalting of
Shelby street, from Pleasant run to Ray
mond street. This makes an asphalt pave
ment to point directly east of the north
line of Garfield Park, and after Raymond
street is graded will give good drive to
the park via Shelby street. Next year
East street will be asphalted to Raymond
street, giving drive to the park by that
street. The improvement of Shelby street
has been delayed account of the un-
willingness of property owners TO petition
for ii. They said they would not remon-
strate against the improvement, but did
not desire to petition for it, This having
been overcome and a petition asking for
the improvement filed, the board has or
dered 1t. This will give an asphalt drive
from Garfield Park to Fall creek. They
have also ordered Prospect street paved
with asphalt from State street 10 Pleasant
avenue. This improvement has been held
up on account of sewers not being in the
street, but the board has decided to go
ahead with the Improvement and construct
sewers in the alleys.
During the afternoon the board was con-
sultng with the city engineer about the
changes needed in the sewerage of Tom
liison Hall as recommended in the report
Of the city chemist. The changes recon-
mended will be made, and the board desires
to have them made before Wabash street,
the contract for which is let, is paved.
Sprinkling contractor South and sweeping
contractor Remington were given one of
the boards daily carvings"
A petition for the opening of Chestnut
street, from Hill street to Palmer street,
was granted The city engineer was in
structed to prepare papers for paving with

rick's Church, on Daugherty street, was

Old Dudley Franchise.

Ex-City Attorney w. l.. Taylor said that
he had received no information of a re-
ported sale of the franchise Of the Indian
apolis Cable Street-railway Company to l..
H. Taylor & Co., of Philadelphia. He says
it is true that the franchise was sold to
Tom Johnson some time ago. and that
there were a number of persons who con-
sidered il to be of value. He said inquiries
had been made concerning it by persons
who intended purchasing. The value, if any
exists, is on account of the first section Of
the franchise, which, it is claimed, granted
the company a perpetual. franchise.
