The committee rooms and council cham
Der at the City Hall will be busy places
this week. Tomorrow night the COM
mon council will meet In special session
to consider the telephone merger oru!-
nance which has been reported favora-
bly, by the street committee. and adopted
by the Board of Aldermen. No opposi-
ton Of consequences to the measure is
anticipated.
The public mind. as we'll as the public
bodies, have reached the definI,e conclu-
sion that single telephone system, IS bet
ter under the conditions than double
system, which multipIies the instruments
without affording satisfactory service. II
is foreseen that 8 present monopoly OF
the business Is inevitable and the puuuc
has concluded to bow as gracefully as II
can to what can not be helped. After
the concurrence Of common council. the
ordinance will go to the Mayor for his
signature. The Richmond Telephone
Company will then be IN position to
dispose OF its plant to the Bell Telephone
Company, and it Is expected that lie
transaction will take place with. as little
delay as necessary and that the Bell
Company will take charge of the lines and
apparatus of the other company. which
it will continue to operate for seine
months to come. and until affairs are In
such a shape that the whole OF the
hello business can be switched on to
the Bell system

with the feminine contingent is. Just how
Tar these two affairs. both for a Con-

two most enthusiastic workers. and past
experience has proven that these ladies'
