Webster City. Jan. 1.-THE Stra.-
ford Independent Telephone company
at its meeting held yesterday in STRAIT
ford, took UP the option they held IN
the franchise of the Chamberlain Tele
phone company in this city. The OPP
ton on this was quoted at $4,000, which
included not only the franchise but the
property of the Chamberlain company
in this city consisting of poles. wires

Chris Williams; Vice President. A. NJ.

But one move now remains until the
possibility of two telephone companies
in this city will become reality. That
one move is the subscribing of $1,000
worth ofstock by Webster City parties.
When this Is done it is proposed to un-
tie the second Webster City company
with the Stratford independent com
pany and all other independent COM
papies. except the Martin company. In
the county under the one name of the
Hamilton County independent Te!e-
phone company, and establish second

thus far got $4,000 OF the $1,000 sub
scribed. They believe they viii be able
to raise the remainder without dif-
iiculty. d. c. Chase, the moving spirit
in the project. says that the purchase
of the Chamberlain franchise effected
yesterday clinches the project.

joyed a monopoly in the city for many
years. claim to have perpetual fran
chise. from the fact that they secured
theirs previous TO the last revision Of
the Iowa code and therefore come IN
under the old road franchise" After
this company had been doing business
for several years. the Chamberlain
company was organized and secured d
franchise from the people by popular
vote. A fierce contest ensued and the
Martin company completely worsted
the Chamberlain company, forcing
them into such financial straits tina,
they abandoned their plant in this city
and even their toll lines. All that re-
manned to them was the franchise.

pany. The second company proposes TO

" except the Martin company and to
give free service on all lines and TO
