THAT TELEPHONE FRANCHISE

According TO an advertisement that
has appeared in these columns now for
several weeks, The Audubon County
Telephone Company is asking for
franchise from the town of Audubon
for period of twenty five years This
is matter of Importance and is rightly
provoking much discussion among the
voters. And as usual in such cases. q
good many erratic statements are being
made by some people either with or
without knowledge of the facts in the
case. In order to get correct state
ment we made inquiry of Mr.. Simpson
in regard to some allegations that are
said to have been made
/, Is it true, Mr. Simpson, that it is
is your purpose, as charged by some
people, to secure the franchise for your
company and then dispose of the prop
erty to the Bell Telephone Company?
No sir, that statement is not correct
| have never thought of such a thing
and no suggestion or proposition of that
kind has ever been made to me by that
company.
2. Is it true that The Audubon Co.
Telephone lines are owned by syndi-
cate and that you are simyly manager?
No sir, such statement is not true
because am not only the manager but
the sole owner of all property and inter
ests belonging to The Audubon County
Telephone Company.
B. Is it true that you are asking for
an exclusive franchise, which would
prevent all other companies from using
the streets and alleys for like purposes?
No sir, that is not correct as any one
may see by reading section >, which
says the ordinance shall not be so CON
strued as Ito prevent the grant of sim
liar privileges to other individuals or
companies for like purposes.
t. Is it true that you could under
such franchise place poles and wires at
any place you chose without consulting
any one?
No sir, that is not true for section 2
says that ANY new poles, supports or
wires hereafter placed shall be so done
under the supervision of the street and
alley committee; and section 3 provides
for removing lines that interfere with
a change of grade or any public i'm
provement or the rights of any citizen
