AUTOMATIC PHONES.
H. d. Stroud Tells situation From His
Viewpoint.

"Should a municipal automatic tele-
phone plant be established In Topeka
the Bell company would no doubt try
to sell their plan. to tie city. ana they
the long distance service. which they
would connect to the municipal sys-
tenn" said H. D. Stroud today, who
desires to see the city Of Topeka In
stall its own telephones.
Topeka will then have but one
plant. as in ne Gaze at Lin:oln, NED,
Aberdeen, s. OAK, and many other
places where the automatic system
has been installed: the system repre-
sents higher efficiency and lower cost
to the user. When the people know
about It, I think they will sign up
for the city phone promptly, 80 that
the system of 5000 phones will be
entirely subscribed for by the time 1t
il ready for operation. and there will
be no need for tho present system.
1.-The Bell conn., any plant In Topeka
is valued by its officers at $4,000, al
though one of it's directors claims 1t
would take $500. 900 to duplicate the
plant.
"The Bell company would not at.
tempt to compete with ,city-owned
system. Experience in Canada and
foreign countries where the telephones
are owned by the people bears out my
contention, even where the old-style
systems were bought Dy the PUBIC.
THE night for a municipal system
has not stopped. am going ahead
with the work OF securing signers to
the petition for the automatic system.
and now have enough signers to carry
the proposition, but am going to make
it certain beyond a question, that the
people favor 1t. by getting the sigma
ture Of every nan and woman in To-
peka who favors the plan. I expect
to present these names to the COM
missioners within thirty days.
TN going ahead with the campaign
for signatures to the automatic tele-
phone petitions" says II. D. Stroud,
"the legal obstacles thought to
be in the way by some local people,
and for q time by myself, do not,
now believe, affect the matter Of
voting bonds because OF q correction
made by another law passed in the
1913 session Of the legislature. I have
