follows:
Augusta. Me. March y. 1901
To the City Council of Augusta:
Gentlemeu-The New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company IS in
receipt Of . copy Of an order passed
on Feb. g. 1901. by the last city gov
ernment. asking that all telephones
used by officials of the city be fur
nished by the company free Of eX-
nense. as the compensation for the
city's allowing the company to contln-
uc to carry its wires across the kenne-
bee bridge.
When the bridge was built an ar
rangement was made by which Tree
teiephonc was given the mayor in re-
turn for the privilege of carrying the
wires across the bridge. and that ar
rangement has been kept up TO the
present time. The new terms which
The last city government sought to i'm
pose are such that the company cannot
agree to them. and if the city insists.
the company will be obliged to remove
its wires from the bridge and adopt
some other method of crossing the
river.
Before doing 50. however, | would
be glad to meet the city government
and talk the matter over in business
like way: possibly some arrangement
can be made that will be mutually
satisfactory.
