The special committee. consisting Of AL
dermen Lovett, Casper and Tinley, Mayor
Morgan and City Solicitor snyder, to which
was referred the drafting of an ordinance
for an independent telephone franchise met
yesterday afternoon and after discussing
the situation for two hours directed the
city solicitor to prepare an ordinance for a
toll and terminal system only. This the
committee decided would meet with the
wishes of the people generally and satisfy
the demand for connection with the in
dependent companies operating in south
western Iowa. Investigation made by the
-ommittee satisfied its members there was
no general demand for another local tele-
phone system in the city.
The ordinance to be drawn by the city
solicitor will provide for the payment to
the city of per cent of the gross earn
ings Of the company receiving the franchise
for the first FIVE years, per cent for the
next Ave years and per cent thereafter.

The Belzoni Record contains the
following little tribute to the local
paper: "The merchant who thinks
he can get along without his local
paper is right. He. can get along
without sugar his coffee, paint on
his house or clothes on his bauk, that
il, he can exlst. But if he will de-
vote little careful study to the sub
iect of 'sgetting along" with the To-
cal paper, he will find it the greatest
assistance he, ever employed at any
price. The merchant, who neglects
to rse the iocal paper as help to-
wards the success is like he who climbs
the WATERFRONT to get to an upper
story when there lie good staircase
in sight. He is not apt to try for
mo- than the first floor. The stair
way, however, goes on higher up"
