IN THE COUNCIL
Consolidated Company Makes
Another Try at It's
Object.

One of the most interesting meetings
of the city council held here for some
time occurred when the council met
in committee of the whole to determine
what action was to be taken In re-
regard to an ordinance introduced at
the-last meeting, which aims to enable
the Consolidated Telegraph and Te1e-
phone company to extend it's lines
from the Atwood A to the Atwood B
mill. Attorneys Wilson and Sear1es
again appeared in support of the ex-
tension, and the arguments advanced
were in support of the theory that
the extension would prove beneficial
to the city's business interests.
w. A. Vail. of the Northwestern Tel
ephone Exchange company, opposed
the extension. and again offered Mr..
Atwood one of the Northwestern COM
pany'S wires to be used as a cOnnec-
ton between the mills. Mr.. Atwood
said he was not in a position to ac-
cept the proposition at this late date.
Some of the councilmen were anxious
to force vote on the proposition, but
others said they could see no reason
for haste in the mater, inasmuch as
they were not supposed to report I'M
til the council meets Feb. 10. President
WelShons, who had been absent from
the city considerable time, said he
was not ready to vote, but if forced
to vote at this time he would be COM
PEELED to vote against the extension.
The committee then went into eXecu-
tive session, and after discussing the
question from all points Of view an
adjournment was taken until Feb. IA,
when the council will decide just what
to do.
