from those who wish to take out the

MITCHELL DOWN
Declines to Grant a Franchise for a
\ New Local Te|ep phone
4 Company #.

Judging by the action Of the city
council last night at special meet
ing in the Rookery building, all Of
the members but one being present.
Spokane is not likely to have a tele-
phone system that will enter the field
as a rival to the present telephone
company.
The meeting unanimously agreed
to Indefinitely postpone the matter of
granting q franchise for telephone
system to c. Mitchell Of the Doerr-
Mitchell Electric company.
Importance is given to the action
of the board because Mr.. Mitchell was
