Council Meeting.

The regular meeting Of the town
council was held OIL Monday evening.

ported that certain repairs to the

and the council ordered that the work
be done. The recorder was authorized
to purchase a new order book. Com
plant was made concerning a house
occupied by certain colored persons,

ProroSed Telephone Line.

Il Mr.. Allan r. Lakin, representing
the Maryland Telephone Company,
headquarters at Hagerstown, appeared
before the town council of Shepherds
town Monday night and asked for per-
mission to erect telephone line to
this place. He submitted an ordinance
which he asked the council to adopt,
and answered the questions concerning
the matter that were propounded to
him. The council laid the matter
over until Friday night, so as to have
opportunity to examine the ordinance
thoroughly. The council will, of
course, give the desired permission, for
everybody desires the telephone line,
but they will at the same time protect
the interests of the citizens.
The Maryland Telephone Company
i. rival to the Bell Company. AS
stated, its headquarters are in Hagers-
town, where it began operations this
week with about fifty phones. Its IN
struments are said to be frst-class and
its service satisfactory. The line is to
be built from Hagerstown by way of
Boonsboro, Keedysville and Sharps-
burg to Shepherdstown, and from here
extended to Martinsburg to connect
with the new lines now being built
there. At Shepherdstown connection
will be made with the Jefferson coun-
ty system now being organized at
Charlestown. Subscribers will, it is
stated, have free communication with
all points touched by the lines in JEFF
ferson and Berkeley counties, this
State, and Washington county, Nd.
There will also be connections with the
towns OF the Shenandoah valley, ana
long-distance telephones to Baltimore
and other cities.
The system seems to be an extern
sive one, and it will doubtless prove
of great benefit to our people, The
maximum rates named are $24 a year
for business places and SIS for private
houses. Mr.. S. S. Stouffer has the
contract to furnish the poles. Several
boat-loads are lying at Bridgeport,
opposite this place, and will be dis
tributed just as soon as permission is
obtained from the authorities controll-
ing the streets and roads. Mr.. Lakin
stated that the work of buildingwould
be rapidly pushed and the system put
! in operation just as soon as possible.
