Are NOW CLOSER
Council and Telephone Company
Make Progress With Pro-
posed Ordinance.
ARE TWO UNSETTLED ISSUES
Questions of Rate and Two Per Cen:
Tax to Be Discussed at SEES
sion This Evening.

Proceeding upon the theory that
there must be compromises made, the
council made extraordinary progress
with the Central Union Telephone com
pany's ordinance yesterday. and at an
| adjourned meeting tonight there will
be taken up the two questions that are
/ between the city and the company. the
questions of a fixed rate and the per
cent tax. The finance committee and
| the city clerk today went over the
books of the company's local Office
with view to securing information
that may bring the company and the
council closer together on these ques-
lions of disagreement.
Maximum Rate Desired.
The original ordinance offered the
that should be charged for service the
same as those of the Union Electric
company. The Central Union represen-
| tatives refused in toto this proposition,
with the explanation that with an or
dinance running for n period of 20
years it is impossible To foresee what
| the latter years of the contract may
call for in the way of charges and serv-
| ice A tri-city service is given, and 1t
| is impossible 10 determine to what eX-
tent Rock Island. Moline and Daven-
port will grow in that length of time,
and it is Il settled principle in tele-
phone operation that with a growth of
service there must be an increase of
rates.
a long conference was held last
IN, Hi
ter and the members of the council are
now asking that a maximum rate be
fixed. 1t may be that this will be in
serted in the ordinance if such a max
imum rate can be agreed upon.
Sections Agreed Upon.
With all except two sections of the
ordinance settled, those will be taken
| up tonight, and if an agreement is
reached. and there is a probability that
it will be, the ordinance will be up for
final passage Monday night
Yesterday afternoon the greater part
of the discussion was with reference
TO the setting of the poles. This was
settled by an agreement that the COM
pany shall submit a plat of its propos-
ed extensions to the council, it shall be
referred to the street and alley COM
mittee and a report made for final ac-
ceptance by the council. The under
ground system will prevail in the fire
limits and the policy will be to keep
the poles in the alleys hereafter.
Seventy-Five Telephones.
The company has conceded to the
city 10 telephones for use free of
charge. OF these so will be for the
police patrol and % for general use in
the city departments Any additional
service will be installed for one-half
the regular rate.
The company has further agreed TO
give to the city two ducts in the I'M
derground. conduits for the stringing
of the police patrol and fire alarm wires
and while the city is to furnish the ma
terial the company's workmen will pull
them through the conduits.
The portion relating to the forfeit
ure of property in case a competing
company secures the controlling inter
est in the stock was stricken.
