LIQUOR LICENSE CONSIDERED.
Council Could not Agree on Martin
flatner Application.

~
The matter of whether or not the
number of saloons in the city of Nor
ris should be limited to the present
number of eight was the paramount
issue at the council meeting on
Wednesday evening. The question
arose on account of the application of
Martin Flatner for license. The
council this summer passed a resolu-
ton limiting the number to nine, and
expected to still further limit the
number if any more went out of
business, the preference in the grant
ing of licenses to be given to old
established dealers. AG this time,
the question was complicated by the
fact that while Mr.. Flatner is not at
the present time engaged in the sa-
loon business, he is an old settler here
and has been in the saloon business
before.
When the matter came up Wednes-
day evening, a number of prominent
business men were present and pre-.
sented petition from large number
of business men asking that the
number of saloons be limited to the
present number and further applica-
tions denied. The matter was argued
pro and con, and finally Alderman
Gutter moved that the application
be denied. This motion was lost,
Aldermen Gutter and Watzke voting
for it and Aldermen Vinje and Lund
against. As no further action was
taken, the question then arose as to
whether this applcati g
again considered next Wedn esday
evening, those who favored the
application claiming that it can, and
those opposed that it cannot. Next
Wednesday is the date set for the
hearing on the application of Phillip
Dohm and also A. Brandt, who wishes
to reopen the Hamm place.
Other business transacted was the
confirming of the sprinkling assess
ment and the ratification of the cleo
ton of officers by the fire department.
&C. spooner asked that the water
main be<extended to his residence on
the Ts9s22gzen farm. Aldermen Vinje
and " atzke were appointed a COM,

Mr.. Stewart, superintendent of the
Great Northern Railway, appeared
relative to the company connecting
with the sewer. The council stated
that Engineer Wolfe had estimated
$500 as as fair charge but Mr.. Stewart
maintained that the company had
never paid more than nominal charge
and that they would not pay $500 or
half that. The matter was referred
to Aldermen Gutter and Watzke.
The matter of the killing of L. J..
Schlattman's horse in sewer trench

mediately double up all who asked
for party line phones. Hence this
was done but one at time as new
subscribers were added, but the Com
pany still retained the right with
those others who paid for party SER
vice to add another phone to their
line at any time.
Recently considerable complaint
has been made by several of the snb-
scribers, who, perhaps did not fully
understand the circumstances but
who only saw the fact that they were
paying for party line service and had
another phone coupled with theirs on
the line, while their neighbor might
be paying for the same service and
still not be, as yet, coupled with an
other phone.
The criticism was so severe that
rather than undergo further trouble
in the matter, and also that it's sub
scribers might have no further cause
for complaint, the Company has now
ordered enough party line phones so
that each phone that is now paying
for party line service will be put on a
line with another, and thus get just
the service that they are paying for.
These phones have been ordered
and ought to arrive either this month
or early in January, and immediatly
upon their arrival the men will be
put at work changing phones so that
the service may be so arranged.
This means that for time, while
the change is being made, there will
be some inconvenience to the sub
scribers as it means the changing of
the present numbers of the phones,
but this is something that cannot be
helped, and the Company trusts that
it's subscribers will stand the annoy
ance thus caused for the short time
necessary to install the phones.
Just as quickly as the change is COM
pleted new directories will be printed
and distributed so that the new num-
bers can easily be found by all and it
will but be a short while before all
will again be working smoothly.
The Company wished to take this
opportunity of advising it's subscribers
of the change however, SO that all
who are now paying $1.0O a month
for their residence phone will under
stand that this change will affect
them and if they desire a private line
at $1.25 per month, it wishes such

Lines to be Doubled up 500
to Prevent Complaint.

The Stevens County Telephone
Company has decided on certain
changes here at Morris that it, is
necessary it's subscribers and others
interested here in Morris should
know of.
When the local plant was recon
structed year ago, it was thought
that service could be supplied to all
who wished it by private lines, but it
was but short while after the plant
was completed before the excellent
service that was given, coupled with
the all night and day service, brought
so many new subscribers that the
lines became congested and the
supply of wires in the cables ran
short.
To obviate this, as we'll as to So
cure an adequate return on the
money invested here at Morris, the
Company decided on change of
rates, and made both party and pri-
vate line service. The party line SER
vice is perhaps but little understood
by even those who are on party lines.
Under recent inventions, it is now
possible to put two Or more phones
on one pair of wires and give both
phones good service without incon-
venience to the other. Central can
ring any one phone on the line with
out the other knowing of it, and the
only inconvenience there is, is that
one party might wish to cali central
and find, on taking down the receiver
that the other party was then using
the line.
The change was made, and number
of phones added. The subscribers
were asked to indicate which they
wished, party or private line service
and they were given the service they
requested, the party line being $1.0O
month and private line $1.25 per
month. 1t is necessary however in
installing party lines to use two differ
ent kinds of phones, and the cost of
these other phones is so high that
with the load of indebtedness this
Company is struggling under, it was
financial impossibility for it to buy
enough party line phones, or 80 cycle
phones, as they are called, to inn
