Parkersburg, Jan. 1O.-The special
election held here on Saturday for the
purpose of testing the minds of the
voters as to whether franchise should
be granted to the Farmers Mutual
Telephone Company of New Hartford
proved to be one Of the most exciting
contests ever held in the city. The
franchise was defeated by margin of
IL votes. One hundred and thirty
four ballots were cast against the
proposition and one hundred and TWEEN
ty-three in favor of 1t. The total num-
Der of votes cast was 261, but four
of them were defective and We're not
counted.
The question Of granting the fran
chise to the Farmers Mutual had been
thoroughly discussed in the public
press and upon the forum of street
corners and grocery stores. The mer-
its and dement's of the proposition
We're gone over carefully and the close
vote is an excellent criterion of the
remarkable interest and the even di-
vision of public opinion.
