Saturday evening at a special session
the city council met to discuss the
proposition made by Mr. Upson, repre-
senting the National Automatic Tele-
phone Co., of Chicago, to put in their
telephone line if granted franchise.
After finding that the Northwestern long
distance telephone company had been
granted certain privileges by the city
that would invalidate franchise by
his company, Mr.. Epson withdrew the
point, being allowed to place wires
and poles within the city limits. A COM
mittee was appointed by the city to see
! that no instructions to traffic or the in
convenience of property owners be
caused thereby. The company repre-
sented by Mr.. Epson intend putting in a
local service and have nearly seventy
subscribers, many of whom will put in
'phones, both at their residences and
places of business. He left Tuesday and
will Immediately start the material NOV
ing for the putting in of the plant, which
is contracted with the subscribers to be
in operation inside of sixty days. The
improvement is valuable one for the
city and is rendered of greater value
from the fact that it has been obtained
without hampering the city with a
franchise.
