Mitchell, S. D., May 13.-As the only
apparent solution to the perplexing
telephone situation in this city. Mayor
Hitchcock has suggested that the city
install a municipal telephone plant, and
the city council acting on the SUCCESS
ton has called a special election for
June 10, when a vote will be taken on
the question of voting bonds to this
amount of $50, 900 for the installation of
the plant.
Today the franchise of the Dakota
Central Telephone company expired.
and it was the expectation that the
council would compel the removal of
the wires and poles from the streets
and alleys. but owing to the legal COM
plications which now exist, the city has
decided to make no move in that di-
rection. The railroad commissioners
have sci a date, four months hSEeg,
when they will render a decision con-
corning the. rate question as applied
to this city, and pending that the coun-
Gil will take steps TO install a NUM-
cipal plant.
While there Is some opposition to a
municipal plant, it is believed the prop
osition will carry, The telephone COM
pany has refused to make any COM
promise, and the fight from now on be-
tween the company and the council will
be an interesting one.
