A rumor is afloat that another local
telephone line is being contemplated
by some of the leading people of Fred
ericktown and vicinity. 1t seems that
the success which other places are
having has aroused some of our peo-
pie to such possibilities. Subscribers
here are complaining of the great cost
for telephone service which in many
instances is far from satisfactory, and
the report that there may be an in
crease in the tolls demanded is anoth-
er factor that is arousing them to ac-
tion.
