Small Cost of Telephones to progres-
sive village In the. CatsIxills.
An instructive example of the re-
suits which may be obtained by CO.
operation and the exercise of a
modicum of public spirit is presented
by the little town of Stamford, in the
Catskill mountains, New York. Under
the stimulating influence of one of its
energetic citizens the people of STAN
ford have organized a village improve
ment society, the members of which
make it their business to induce the
denizens of the town to keep their
lawns well trimmed and their fences
in repair under penalty of social
ostracism. They have obtained for
their town complete systems of
sewers and electric lights and a sup
ply of excellent water.
The methods of the society are best
illustrated, perhaps, by its latest
achievement-the introduction of a
telephone exchange, which costs each
subscriber just IS year. With
capital of $1,000, contributed by
twenty persons at the rate of $50
each, it was possible, says the Phila-
delphia Record, to erect poles, string
wires, purchase a switchboard, and
provide each subscriber with phone
of approved pattern, emitting only
some triiing attachments which are
still covered by patents. The village
storekeeper, in consideration of a
salary of 800, was induced TO accept
the position of Central" and work
the switchboard. An assessment of
20 a year upon each of the patrons
had been found sufficient to pay all
the expenses of operation, including
ordinary repairs; and 50 additional
from each subscriber would pay per
cent interest upon the small amount
of capital required to extend the
service to the house of every resident
within thu radius of mile from the
center of the village.
There is scarcely village or town
in this country containing between
1000 and 10000 inhabitants in which
the methods adopted at Stamford to
secure these various public conven-
fences could not be introduced to the
great comfort and profit of its peo-
pie. Wherever there is nearby
water power nature has provided q
village or town with the means of
producing electricity for lighting and
motive power at rates far below those
charged by private corpo-
rations; and it is only necessary that |
the spirit of cooperation shall be suf-
iciently aroused among the towns
people to induce them to help them
selves.
