Something About the New Telephone
Company 0ther Brief Items.

There is an interesting contest on
between the Bell Telephone Company
and the new Independent Telephone
Company, and there is some fear that
the effort Of number of the leading
citizens to secure a cheaper telephone
system for the city will be knocked
out by resolution to give the Bell
people an exclusive franchise, as Of
fered at special meeting of the Coun-
Gil on Monday evening. At the same
meeting the Independent telephone or
dinance was laid over until the next
regular meeting.
The Bell company have offered some
liberal concessions, and the people are
well aware of the fact. However. the
majority of the citizens demand loud
y for cheaper rate and claim that
there are a number OF folks in Ben
wood and McMechen to whom a local
system would be Of great value and
convenience for various reasons. Some
people object to the new system on the
grounds that there would be no con-
nection with Wheeling, and therefore
business men would be obliged to have
two phones. Those in favor of the
project claim that the two phones
could be used at a price SIS cheaper
than is being paid at present. and that
the number of subscribers would be in
creased to great extent.
Thf matter will be brought up at
