INSIST ON FREE PHONES
FIRE BOARD OBJECTS TO BEING
CUT DOWN TO ONE In
STRUMENT
CoMPANY's BILL IS ALLOWED
But Free Use of City Poles Is Con-
tended to Be Worth Several
Instruments Free of
Cost.

BY the recent compromise between the
Northwestern Telephone company and
the city relative to the suit brought by
the telephone company to collect arrear-
ages for telephone service the fire board
was asked to pay as its share $780, their
future dealings with the company to en-
title them to only one phone.
While admitting the debt and agree
ing to pay it, the members Of the board
demurred to the latter clause of the
agreement on the ground that they were
entitled to more free phones, because
of the fact that the telephone company
made use of the city's fire alarm poles
without paying for the same. Compen-
sation for this privilege was demanded
by the board, but the telephone company
put in a counterclaim, contending that
the use of the city's poles was simply in
exchange for similar courtesy extended
the city by the telephone company
In an opinion handed down yesterday
by the corporation attorney the conten-
tions Of the fire board are in every way
upheld The right of the city to use the
poles of the telephone company is pro-
tected by an ordinance, while the use
of the city's property by the telephone
company, the corporation attorney holds
is one that the fire board can curtail or
allow as it sees fit At present the
Northwestern Telephone company has zoo
miles of wire stretched on poles belong
ing to the city, and for which nothing
is being paid
At the next meeting of the board the
opinion of the attorney will be officially
filed. and a demand will be made on the
telephone company for proper compensa-
tiCn in the way Of free phones. At pres
ent the commissioners tile fire chief and
several of the engine houses have
phones and the members will demand
that they be allowed to remain.
In the event that a compromise fails
an offer from the Twin City Telephone
company will be considered, the officers
of that corporation having signified their
desire to equip the entire. department.
with a telephone system and connect the
same with their exchange swttchboards

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing TO the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
TO overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
