shape right now. and Stein will be In for a
merry time The Quaker city boy is no

Gated during the past year and decoration
there is in its initial stages, but the Wheat

End of Negotiations Between Electrical
Engineer and Local COMPANY

| AS result of negotiations between Electro
cal Engineer Walter c. Allen, on behalf of
| the District and F. II. Bethel. general man
ager of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
| phone Company, the Commissioners have
received proposal from the company for
| changing the present magnetic system of
| the District switchboard to common bat
| terry system and for furnishing the neces-
sary equipment. So advantageous is the
new proposal regarded that Commissioner
Macfarland has noted on the papers: This
| is the very satisfactory outcome Of recent
negotiations and Commissioners West and
Biddle have indicated their approval of the
scheme. so that 1t will be almost imme-
diately adopted
Electrical Engineer Allen, In his last an
nual estimates, requested that Congress be
asked for an appropriation of $4,000 to re-
place the existing worn-out and inadequate
switchboards at headquarters" and the ac-
companying apparatus with modern equip
ment. and for an additional $1,000 for a pro-
posed private system for the police depart
ment. These appropriations will not now be
necessary. Mr.. Allen also submitted q
statement showing that the amount now
paid annually to the telephone company for
telephone service and rental is $3.50 Mr..
Allen has this to say regarding the new
system which the telephone company is
willing to install:
s'rhe proposal OF the Chesapeake and Po-
tomao Telephone Company is to replace this
old magnetic equipment with the latest type
of common battery equipment, to increase
the number of trunk lines from fifteen to
forty. to furnish and maintain new switch
board. with a capacity Of 400 and arranged
for four operators. to furnish and maintain
q new forty-line switchboard for the fire de-
partment telephones in place of the present
thirty-line magnetic switchboard and in adj
dition. to furnish and maintain a new
switchboard for the proposed private line
system OF the police department, all for the
sum of a. 5b2. 80, a saving to the District an
nually OF 81. 297. go"
be adopted. stating that the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company expressed a
willingness to begin the Installation on Jam
uary ! next, and to have everything in
working order not later than next April,
The approval of the Commissioners means
that the work will begin almost at once
and that the District win soon be In pos
