will BE Demanded By Council From the
Home Telephone Company.
The special committee of Council ap-
pointed Tuesday evening TO investigate
the matter of the franchise asked by
the Home Telephone Company for a
Marie tia Parkersburg Exchange, met
at the Office of Solicitor Richards FRI
day evening. The ordinance submitted
by the new company was not satisfac-
tory and another on the same lines as
the Shuricls franchise. which has ex-
pired, was prepared. This ordinance
will be satisfactory and will be passed
by Council when certain conditions
have been complied with.
Several similar franchises have been
granted in the past, but none of them
has so far resulted ia the installation of
the service promised, though they have
been instrumental in securing reduced
rates from the Bell Company. To show
the Home Company that they must do
business If the franchise is granted, a
clause will be inserted in the ordinance
requiring thousand dollar forfeiture
if the project fails We are informed
by member of the Committee that
unless this guaranty is furnished the
franchise will not be granted.
