There may be some need for this

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1895-02-12

1t was ordered by the City Council
at its meeting last Tuesday night thai
the Clerk advertise to sell the exclu-
sive telephone exchange franchise for
Ae city of Mt. Sterling to the highest
and best bidder, and that the bids be
opened at the next regular meeting
Of the Council. This statement with
out an explanation would be con-
founding to those who know that we
already have telephone exchange.
When the franchise was given to the
present company, it seems there was a
misunderstanding as to the considera-
ton, the company claiming that their
bid was for $50 for the franchise and
the city that it was for $50 per year
during the lite time of the franchise,
twenty years. Is it not possible that
this matter can be adjusted? Our I'M
derstGnding is that the exchange j.
giving good service and that il is also
q source of revenue to the company
1t Is certainly a needed enterprise and
If both the company and the city will
bend their efforts to settle their differ
eaces we see no reason why it cannot
be done.
