MAYOR BALKS
ON RESOLUTION
Won't Approve Phone Co.
Franchise Fearing Merger Of
Service Corporations

Fearing merging OF tho telephone and
electric lighting companies of the city and
a consequent increase in telephone and
electric lighting rates Mayor j. Harvey
Spruance has vetoed the resolution adopt
ed by the Street and Sewer Directors last
Tuesday granting the Wilmington Light,
Power and Telephone Company a separate
telephone franchise
The following letter from the mayor to
the Street and Sewer Directors was made
public this morning.
Gentlemen: Il herewith return. without
my approval the resolution to grant to the
Wilmington Automatic Telephone Com
pany the right to occupy and use the
public streets. roads, lanes. alleys, ave-
nues, turnpilSes and waterways within
the city of Wilmington. 1 have given
the resolution a great deal Of thought
and / cannot help but feel that its
passage would pave the way for a
merging of the telephone and electric
lighting companies and perhaps create
monopoly in both services.
This would, of course, make possible
the raising Of prices for telephone SER
vice and electric lighting. which would
eventually be borne by the citizens of
Wilmington. 1, therefore, in view OF
the above circumstances. do not feel
that can conscientiously give this
resolution my approval.
Respectfully.
(signed) 81. Harvey Spruance.
Mayor"
This morning Charles c. Kurtz. presi-
! dent of the Wilmington Light, Power
and Telephone Company, after hearing
that Mayor Spruance had refused &c
approve the resolution, reiterated his
former denial that the lighting and
telephone companies would merge. Mr.
Kurtz added that the subject Of q
merger had never been discussed al
a meeting of the directors of the vii
mington Light, Power and Telephone
Company.
