A change has been made and the
Dakota Central Telephone company,
with a paid up capital of 100000
now owns the lines formerly operat-
ed under the uame of Central Dako-
Ia, last year assessed at $500;
Southern Minnesota, at $1,000; Iowa,
Dakota & Minnesota, at $1,000; and
Western Dakota. The only company
we find listed in the auditors report
for 1908 under the name of West
ern" is the Western Telephone Elk
change, assessed at $1,000. The total
assessed valuation Of these lines cred
tied to this state was $24,S90. The
new company organized under the
name of Central Dakota, with a cap
ital Of $2,000,000 fully paid controls
about 10000 miles in the circuit of
lines, extending over the state of
South Dakota east of the Missouri
river, except a small part of the state
IN the vicinity of Sioux Falls, where
the Bell company owns a line, and it
also controls the telephone field in
southern North Dakota and parts of
Iowa and Minnesota. The new
comany takes over business Of the
present company, or companies, Oct
ober LIST. W. are not prepared to
state how much of this company's
lines are in operation outside of this
| state, but our understanding of the
matter is that South Dakota has a
large portion of it. If this is true
there should be a large increase in
the assessment of this property. Al
any rate a change should be made
whereby the concern would not es-
cape the tax of cities where they de-
rive greater revenue. The business
of the local exchange is dependent
entirely afea the business ei the
town or city and should be compelled
to pay the same proportion Of taxes
as other property in the same towr
or city is made TO pay.

thought had been left BY Mrs Tay-
