Listen. Don't run short OF any

the same as lie always did. Every
thing on hand to supply your wants.
The draft OF the proposed new char
ter. which the commission prac tically
accepted at their last meeting, held
last week, is now in the hands of City
Attorney NJ. G, Kelsey, who is going
over it carefully to see that all legal
points are correct This work, it is
expected, will be done in the course
of a days, after which the commission
will hold final meeting to place its
official O. K. upon the document.
Three copies will then be made. 1t is
not unlikely that the charter Will be
published in full, i'm order that the
public may acquaint itself with its
various provisions The commission
desired to have the proposed charter
submitted at special election to be
h cid some time in March, but it is
doubtful if this can be done, as there
is considerable work and time needed
to perfect the document. The pro-
posed charter is likely, as it now
seems, to be submitted to the voters
at the regular.city election in April.
Under the law it is not to take effect
until thirty days after it is adopted.
The three vacancies on the commits
sion, have been filed by the appoint
ment of Anton Larson, Nels Christen-
sen and S. G. Bjone, who qualified at
the last meeting of the commission.

WILSON WOULD KNOW
Asks Some Questions for the
Telephone Company to
Answer

"A lew questions IlldU CIe ClClLello
and the undersigned would like the
Northwestern Telephone Company to
answer.
Is it a fact, as reported, that we
are compelled to pay more for our
phones than they do
at Anoka?
at Ada?
at Red Wing?
Why have you six solicitors at tari-
bault cutting rates where the Fri
State Telephone Co.. arescompetitors?
Why can other telephone companies
and private lines afford to furnish
phones at S1.0O for residences and
s.. 90 for business houses, even when
there is no competition, and in some
instances have cable system?
Why have you not installed the
central energy system as was promised
before you received the present fran
chiSe?
Why do you go to the expense of
having solicitor here to induce the
citizens to re-install phones and at
the same time stating you will never
cut the price and will keep this office
open for the long distance and toll
business alone?
Why have you charged one of our
citizens only S1.OO for his residence
phone for the month of Feb. 1911
and the balance so?
Why do you not answer the protes t
dated Jan. 10Th, signed by nearly 100
subscribers?
Your answer to the above questions
in the next issue of The Herald will
be highly appreciated.
