Entire Local Phone System Being
Extended and Improved

Work started last week on the en-
tire rebuilding of the Durant system
Of the Pioneer Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, which will require a
month of time and will cost the COM
pany more than $4,000 and will in
crease the efficiency of the local SER
vice greatly.
One of the most important of the
improvements made is the installa
tion of a cable system over the entire
circuit of poles and wires in place of
the present open wire work. This
will reduce to a minimum dangers and
accidents attendant on a large num-
ber of open wires and enable the force
% render quicker service. Nearly
0,000 feet of cable will be installed.
The entire line of poles and wires
are being gone over. and new poles
installed in lieu of worn out ones.
and a dozen extensions to the lines
will also be made. The extensions to
lines will probably run up TO 10000
feet.
There has been installed two extra
sections to the switch board service.
which now places the local plant In
shape to handle in excess of nine hun
dred telephones. At present there are
about $50 phones in use in the city
and in direct connection with the local
central office.
One of the travelling representa-
tives of the company, when interview
ed by a reporter said: THE expen-
diture of $4,000 by ouI company in
Durant has been made necessary by
the rapid growth of the city CONNER
cially and we are preparing right now
for the next ten years to come. We
have faith in the continued growth
of Durant and have no hesitancy in in
vesting more money here, as It will
pay us. Our motto is increased eff
cheney, and we shall spare no ex-
pense to keep the service up to the
maximum OF efficiency"

DEPOT ORDERED
Commission Hearing Locates Union
Station West Of The Katy
Tracks

! Hon. George A. Henshaw of the
State Corporation Commission yester-
day morning held at the city hall a
hearing on the Union Depot proposit-
ion, and the result will be, that Mr..
Henshaw will recommend to the Com
mission the building of a depot on the
west side of the Katy tracks, fronting
on Main street and extending south
to the Frisco tracks. Mr.. Henshaw
stated to the representatives Of the
railroads present, that there would be
no appeal from this hearing granted
by the Commission, and that any mo-
ton for rehearing would have to be
granted by the Supreme Court.
II was shown at the hearing that
the construction of a depot in the
triangle formed by the NJ. o. & G.. the
Frisco and the Katy tracks would
make traffic and crossing OF the
tracks by pedestrians very dangerous.
and It was further shown that the
logical place for the depot is on the
west side of the Katy tracks, where 1t
will be accessible to all. The side
tracks and switches of the Katy. as
well as the present passenger station
and the Katy freight depot. will be
moved out of the way, and 1t will
not be necessary for persons going
from town to the depot to cross any
tracks to reach the station.
1t Is understood that the three roads
are now agreed on the matter. and
since the hearing have consented to
get busy at once on the Union Station.
which will cost $4,000 to be paid for
at the rate of $4,000 by the Katy.
$4,000 by the Frisco and $4,000 by
the NJ. o. & G. The NJ o. & G.. will
likely arrange with the Katy to pull
up to the new union station on the
Katy's main tracks and get out by
using the Frisco. making it unneces-
sary for the NJ. o. & G. to build much
additional tracks.
1t would now appear that no further
delays could be had in the matter.
and that at once following the official
order of the commission that the three
roads would get busy and build the
station. The former order was to
the effect that the depot be located in
the triangle formed by the three COM
panies' tracks, but the Supreme Court
refused this for the reason that from
the evidence presented it would be
dangerous for the travelling public to
have to cross switches and main line
tracks to get to the depot. The Katy
and Frisco favored building the depol
west OF the Katy tracks while the NJ.
o. & G. started the rumpds to have il
built in the triangle
A number of witnesses were exam
ined by the Commission, among them
the vice pre- sident of the M. o. & G..
and that company's civil engineer.
Several local business people were ex-
amined.

OPTIONS ON SITES
Comfy Commissioners Have Offers for
Location for Proposed Court

The board of county commissioners
now have five options for sites for
the proposed court house and Jail.
which options call for the expenditure
of from $4,000 to $12,500, depending
upon which site may be selected by
the commissioners.
The options are as follows:

1t is seen that none of the options
call for more than a half block of
/ land. and that the price, run as high
as $12,500. Many people favor the
use of an entire block of land. whica
/ at property priced here would cost all
of $4,000 and property values in this
city are going upward always and
never down. Options will probably be
secured this week on several sites
