=. RINGVILLE, Dec. 2a.-The Ring
vile Telephone Co., held q meeting at
the Burbank town hall Saturday, Dec. 7
10, for the purpose of Strengthening
out some matters pertsining to the
service. Ever since the construction
of the line the shareholders of the
western division have complained
about the eastern people, having
far better service with smaller switch
ing charges because they were in di-
rect communication with the store at
Georgeville and with New London.
When the "Western people, want to
call up any of those places they have
to 60 thru the switch at Georgeville
and pay fee of five cents. The mat
ter was th0roly discussed, and almost
reached ''fever heat in some OF those
present. It was finally decided to
abolish the switch at Georgev1lle and
build an addition to the line from
Mrs. NJ. Hendrickson's farm to con-
meet with the central at Belgrade.
The construction of the line was also
discussed, and the committee did not
accept the same. To us it seems =
wonder that any communication can
pass over the line, and without sum
cient repairs it is only: q question of
time when the whole line will have to
be rebuilt. s..~a
The baby girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Al
bert Berg, of Belgrade has been very
