for the purpose of letting a contract
for erecting six miles of poles, ano
stringing the wires. the line to be rur
from the Colorado Telephone com

out onto the mesa. Twenty or TWEEN
ty-five farmers have taken stock IL
the company and will have phones
put in and others VINO later desire
phones may obtain them by buying
stock and extending the wires to theii

This was believed by the farmers to
be a better arrangement than to have
the Colorado Telephone company
build the line and charge $3.50 q
month for each phone.
