OBJECT TO POLES
FOR TELEPHONE
TRUNK LINE
Residents Of Branch Street at
Trustee Meeting
TWO HOURS DISCUSSION
Trustees Visit Scene Of Controversy
Today Before Giving Final
Decision.

There was an interesting meeting
called for the purpose of taking ac-
ton upon the request of residents OF
South Branch street that permit to
the New England Telephone and Tel
egraph company to erect a line OF
poles be revoked President Ward
occupied the chair and all the mem
bers of the board with the exception
Of Trustees Nash and Gunshannon
were present Clerk Hogan was in
attendance and Corporation Attorney
Maurer conducted the hearing in be-
half of the trustees.
The men and women residents of
South Branch street were represent
ed by a good delegation. Harry Chase
appeared for the petitioners and the
company was represented by Harry
Orr of North Adams. Mr.. Orr took
up the different articles in the petit
ton and explained why the company
had elected to ask permit to put Its
trunk line of poles and wires through
Branch street. The principal reason.
according to Mr.. Orr and Mr.. Shaw,
another representative of the Tele-
phone company, was that a line
might be secured with as few angles
as possible.
Mr. Chase. contended that the run
ming of the trunk line through Branch
street was not public necessity and
further that it was not necessary that
the company should now go on to
the west side of the street after hav-
ing occupied the east side for more
than a dozen years.
Several signers to the petition
were examined by the corporation
counsel and all objected to the locat-
ing of the poles on the west side OF
the street. Some of them were anxi-
GUS for their shade trees and others
objected to wires in such close prox-
unity to their property.
After session of two hours the
trustees went into executive session
and decided that it would be best
for the trustees to visit Branch street
this afternoon and look over the stu
alton before making a final decision.

TALK ON TELEPHONE
interesting Lecture at Bennington
Club by Manager w. e. Blsseli.

Manager w. E. Bissell of the local
telephone exchange gave an interest
ing lecture on the telephone at the
rooms of the Bennington club last
evening. The lecture was illustrated
with a set of excellent lantern slides
depicting the progress of the great
public utility from the invention OF
the first telephone down to the pres
ent time when the calls over the Bell
system average 100000 a day.
In his talk last evening Manager
Bissell described the growth Of the
telephone business from the time of
the establishment OF the first ex-
change in Boston in the 70's.
The growth has been one of the
marvellous things of marvellous age.
Prof. Bell made the first long dis
lance call in 1878 when he talked
from Boston to Salem. Progress
during the next decade was compare
lively slow but in 1898 a line was
opened from New York to Chicago.
The speaker described in detail the
construction of a telephone system,
its line of wires and cables, its oper-
ating rooms and its instruments. In
closing he touched briefly upon the
advantages to the public that have
resulted from the consolidation OF
the telegraph and telephone.
The audience present taxed the
seating capacity Of the reception
room and the speaker held the atten-
ton of his listeners throughout the
lecture. He spoke slowly and de-
stinctly and therefore the facts In
the lecture. which was of an educa-
tional nature, were impressed upon
his audience.

Mr.. Weeks called attention to H.
445, the direct inheritance tax bill,
H. 5S4, relating to the taxation OF de-
posits in savings institutions and ma
! tional banks, and to II. 524, relating
/ to the rate Of taxes on assessed rail-
road property. The last named bill
has been defeated in the Senate. IF
these three measures had become
laws" said Mr.. Weeks, enough reve-
nue. would have been realized to meet
! the current expenses Of the biennial
term and a state tax would have
been avoided"
The last hope of passing a primary
election law was swept away this af-
| ternoon when the House killed Sen
ate bill Ill, an act to provide for the
selection of candidates and delegates
at primary elections. The question
being on the amendment moved by
Mr.. Proctor providing for a referen-
dun in 1914. Mr.. Jose OF Johnson Of
fered an amendment striking out all
after the enacting clause up to the
amendments proposed by Mr.. Proc
tor, and substituting the subject mat
ter of House bill SO. introduced by
Mr.. Cook OF Lyndon. Mr.. Proctor
claimed that the primary law pre-
served the strength OF the small
towns, puts the question up to the
people. and he urged the favorable
consideration of the amendments and
the bill The amendments proposed
by Mr.. Proctor were accepted. Mr..
Jose then reported his proposed
amendments. as first stated by him.
Mr.. Crosby Of Brattleboro gave his
tory OF primary bin legislation at
this session, claiming that the Cook
bill. with Mr.. Proctor's amendments.
is the only real primary bin so far
presented.
Mr.. Billings Of Woodstock said that
having killed the Coburn bill and the
Cook bill. without the referendum
clause, II was the duty Of the House
to kill the bill now proposed. He
favored Senate bin III as amended
by Mr.. Proctor. and opposed the Jose
amendment
Mr.. Clayton Of Londonderry favor
ed the Cook bill because Il would do
away with the caucus and convention
citing instances where a few large
towns controlled the county conven-
ton. leaving out the smaller towns.
A pure primary Law would benefit the
small towns. He favored the amend
ment proposed by Mr.. Jose.
Mr.. Locke Of Barton favored the
Cook BILL as Il gives every voter the

school district. H. j. Cole also OPP
posed confining the building to any
particular purpose. and said that so
far the trustees had never abused
the trust that had been placed in
them in the matter of the use of the
present building. Mr.. Mills said he
was in favor of no restrictions at all.
but OF leaving the matter to be decid-
ed by the trustees and therefore
would withdraw his amendment con-
tanning the words "for educational
purposes only"
c. N. Powers made the motion to
strike out the words "for high school
purpose only" and the original reso-
luton, as amended, was adopted.
The other articles in the warning
were taken up and as there was no
further business to be transacted, ad-
journment was taken at 9 o'clock.

NORMAL SCHOOLS
Doing GOOD WORK
THIS rs THE CONCLUSION or
THE TEMPORARY EDUCATION
COMMISSION IN THE REPORT
THAT HAS JUST BEEN MADE ny
IT'S SECRETARY.

That the normal schools OF the state
are. within the scope of the law, per-
forming the functions with which they
are charged, is q conclusion arrived
at by the temporary education COM
mission. according to information Civ
en- out by Pres. g. "A. Mcfarland, sec
rotary of the commission, provided for
by the last legislature to investigate
the state educational system with a
view of making recommendations for
the better unifying and STRENGTHENING
of the same.
Chapter 3, ON the examination of
the educational system OF this state
continues: THE industrial schools
: present the most difficult prob
lens before the commission I'D that
their scope and purpose as well as their
coordination with the educational sys-
tenn is least defined and satisfactory.
AT each OF these schools the attend
ance is largely local, and at one
in particular, the school has been rec
ognized as filing the place OF q local
high school. This Is not the function
Of q state supported school, conse-
quently definlte4courseS OF study con
fined within ~speciied limits should be
-inaugurated."
In this matter, the legislature is
free, or course, to act as 1t sees at, but
this recommendation is made by the
commission in lieu OF changing the
character of the schools, a dificult
matter for constitutional reasons. AR
ttcle 8 of the constitution OF North
Dakota specifically names all state i'm
stitutions, including the normal
schools and the Industrial schools IN
question and continues, (section ZIG,
hfthl - : no other institution OF a
character similar to any of those To-
Gated by this article shall be estab-
lished or maintained without q reyi-
sion OF this constitution
In conclusion the commission urges
that the normal schools should con-
tinue to emphasize the preparation of
teachers for the grades, and should
be under one governing board, since
they are schools of a similar kind
A committee OF the commission is
now ait work drafting q bill embody-
Ing the recommendations to be pre-
scented to the legislature soon.

is signed by Pres. Frank L. McVey OF
