COMPANY OFFERS
To DIVIDE COST
New Automatic Phone People
Willing to Pay Half of the
Election Expenses.

Representatives Of the Tri-City
Home Automatic Telephone company
met with the city commission in in
formal session this morning and dis
cussed the question of who is to pay
for the special election called for by
the company which seeks TO have the
citizens issue a franchise 70 1t. On
behalf OF the company the following
were present: L. s. McCabe, S. r.
Kenworthy and G. c. Wenger OF Rock

apolis. president OF the company; l..
w. Stanton, promoter, and c. II. Lam
bach, a Davenport attorney. After
the city's financial situation had been
explained TO them and the matter dis
oussed at some length, the representa-
tives OF the company offered to pay
half Of the expenses attendant upon
the election. The commission took
the offer under advisement.
The new phone people feel that they
are within the law in demanding a
vote on the franchise and that il is
sheer generosity on their part which
prompts them to pay any Of the ex.
pense They are also fearful that the
payment might be construed as an at
tempt to bride the voters. and this
they wish to avoid as they feel that
their proposition is a meritorlous one
The commissioners, on the other
hand, feel that II the law Is enforced

company bringing up a question time
