Leroy j. Wolf of Union Electric Is
Informally Acquainted With
City's Demand.

The telephone situation has reached

attitude OF the companies as to who
shall bear the expense of the special
election which has been petitioned for

mission know Of the attitude of the

Il think, however" said Mr.. Wolf,
that the rule which applies to one
corporation should be made to apply
to all and if the commission expects US
to pay for the election which we had
no part in bringing about, the third
company should be required TO pay

Under the ordinance which the

commission passed permitting us to
sell to the Central Union, we agreed
20 give to the city $1,000 in cash. and
the Central Union agreed to certain
interurban and suburban service con-
cessions required by the city. OF
course if we don't pay for the cleo
ton, the city will lose at least a half
of the $4,000 in meeting the election
expenses, even If the ordinance is sus-
tanned, and If the ordinance is re-
pealed. the city is out the $4,000 and
the expenses of the election besides.
However, we want to do the right
thing, and will let the commission
know in a few days as to our attitude
on the election expense proposition"
