not noticed until the report of the
Commercial Club Committee had
been published, it appears in the
report that business phones in Will
mar are at present 200 per month.
The committee finds that II business
places in Willmar pay $2.5 for their
phones at the present time, while
81 pay 200 per month. No raise is
contemplated for phones now paying
2.50 per month, but the company
will establish uniform rate for
all business phones.
This in order to correct the error
inadvertently made in the original
report.
