TELEPHONE MERGER
IS AGAIN DISCUSSED
MANAGER j. Ii. EARLE OF THE
INDEPENDENT COMPANY Is
HERE TODAY.
Submits a New Plan Under Which
System May BE Merged Which
Calls for 80 Cents Increase
on Business Phones.

j. =. Earle OF the Texas Independ .
ent Telephone company was here
| this afternoon and conferred with
members of the Chamber of Com
merce committee with regard to a
merger OF the two telephone sys-
tens NJ. Earle is discussing the
proposed merger with members OF
| the city council this afternoon. He
wants to close the matter up during
the present month or else abandon
| the idea. The committee recently
made a report to the Chamber Of
Commerce recommending that that
body use its influence to procure a
merger OF the two systems with an
understanding that a raise in the
rate of business phones be granted
when the exchange could give con-
lnections with 1900 independent
lines, but Mr., Earle stated today that
he could not finance the deal on
such a plan and proposed that "a

ness telephones through the life of
the franchise. The matter was sub
mitted to the committee and will be
considered at a meeting of that body
at an early date In the meantime
Mr.. Earle is taking the matter un
with the members of the city council.
The city council alone has the
right TO say under what conditions
| the two systems may be merged, but
the idea of the Chamber of Com
merce in taking up the matter at
this time was TO aid the council in
the matter Just now it cannot be
said that the members of the COM
mittee Will agree to work for Nor
ger under the conditions. But they
will give the matter fair and i'm
partial consideration before commit
ting themselves. The purpose of the
committee is TO ascertain the wishes
of the people affected by the in
creased charge and let the peoples
wishes guide them in their acts.
The city council Will meet next
Tuesday and effort will be made 10
present. the merger matter to them
at that time. Mr.. Earle figures that
by means of { merger of the two
exchanges the people of Waxahaehie
would save approximately $500 per
! month.
