non should all be built new, with high
er poles and new wire The poles at
present are too low which runs our
wires through trees, and interferss
with our giving good service between
the two places, which is more notice
able. on rainy and damp days than on
bright sunny days. The wire on this
lead has become so badly deteriorated
that It is almost impossible to make
a connection in the lines.
The leads at Centerburg should be
given attention as our cable capacity
is full and in certain territories we
are unable to place any new subscrib-
ers until the congested condition is
relieved and then our lines in this
territory should be placed in cables
to keep them from giving us the trou-
BILE they have in the past.
Fredericktown cabel leads should be
increased as we are unable to take
care of subscribers in certain Sec
tions; this is true of the whole west
end of town, in increasing the cable
leads / would recommend that we go
further and make these towns cable
plants.
We should also go over several of
our leads on our various exchanges to
replace broken poles and cross arms,
and trim the leads free from trees
which give us more or less grounds
and Interfere with our service.
While we did not attain the stana-
ard of 4500 telephones in this report
let us all strive on to uphold our own
company where we have our money
invested and make it the only COM
pany in Knox county.
Respectfully submitted,

one new circuit, and relieved a line
which gave us a line to Nashville and
connection with Millersburg over To-
cal lines. We also repaired several
leads in Buckeye City, which were in
bad condition, and went over the line
from Danville to North Liberty, and
all lines on the North Liberty ex.

in Fifth avenue:
A cry of Mad dog' arose last
night when small King Charles span
iel, chased by three boys, ran into the
Hotel ST. Regis dining room, scuttled
about and hid under a seat in an ele-
vator.
Everybody was scared. The elevator
runner wanted to shoot the dangerous
brute but the manager wouldn't let
him. A long conference of war was
on when newsboy pushed through the
crowd round the elevator.
"Eere, dosgie, come on out" coaxed
the boy. Il won't hurt you. Come
alcng, come along
The dog stood up, wagged its tail
and allowed the newsboy to pick 1t up.
AS the boy left the hotel with the dog
under his coat he observed:
Some people would be scared of a
kitten if it cried.''
