days for the police Of the city force,
were considered by the Metropolitan

that the agreement has proven satis-
factory, not only to the two compan-
les. but to the subscribers.
MIR. Bailey urged the Indianapolis
board to attempt to bring about uni
versal service between the two com.
panies "As a telephone man Of long
experience, desiring to establish the
best condition possible for our sub
scribers, and believing firmly that uni
versal telephone connections are the
best for all concerned, sincerely trust
that after due and careful considera-
ton you will frame a franchise for the
merger of the two companies with
every safeguard that is within your
power for the protection Of all inde-

state, as we'll as for the people Of In
