Committee INSISTS
ON FIRST MERCER PLAN
NOT WILLING To GRANT TEIF-
PHONE COMPANY 1 RAISE N
RENTALS 1T PRESENT
Committee VIII Ask People 60 En-.
dorse Their Plan for a Merger
Before Presenting 20 thc
City Council.

At a meeting Of the telephone
merger committee late yesterday AZ
ternoon counter proposition from
Manager ]. b. Earle was refused and
the secretary of the committee was
instructed to write Sir. Earle that
the committee stood ready TO edyo-
cate a merger on the plans proposed
The counter proposition called for a
raise of so cents IN monthly rentals
of business phones until the number
of direct connections had reached
1850 and then the company should
be entitled to a raise of another so
cents. making the monthly rental
$500. 1t is the belief of the com
mittee that a merger under the pro
posed plan of no additional charge
for rentals until the number Of di-
rect phone connections had been in
creased to 1900 is a better PROPOSE
ton for the city of Waxahachie.
Under this plan the people would
at least save many thousands OF dol
lars before the increased rental came
on and even then there would be a
saving of approximately SIS per
month over the present system To
the committee. it would be good bus
mess for the town to take adyan-
tage of the proposition that would
save the people of the town 5000
in actual cash before any telephone
user would have to pay increased
rentals, especially when it is consid-
cred that the increased rentals at
that time would be a saving over
the dual system.
Members of the committee would
have the people understand that their
efforts towards securing a merger
of the two telephone systems is
purely from a patriotic standpoint
and to serve the best interests OF the
town. The merger plans have been
gone over very carefully and there
is little doubt but that any mar
who studies the proposition as the
members of the committe have will
come around to their way of think
ing. 1t is a we'll known fact that a
majority of the committee were bit
terly opposed to making any eonces-
sion whatever to secure merger Of
the two systems before they began
to study the telephone situation.
They were agreed that a dual sys-
TEN Is nuisance that any town
should avoid, but were not willing
at that time to make any conces-
sions to bring about merger. The
committee has voted unanimously in
favor of merger on the plan out
lined in their report some days ago
to the Chamber of Commerce, and
when they have secured the endorse
ment of the people will take it to
the city council

where I might be found at eight that

The long afternoon went by at last,
and evening came; and, as promptly

we walked off down the street, at my

whistle, we hurried through the black
ness of a narrow alley into the silent
street beyond And on up this we
passed, until at last we paused at the
gateway of a cottage on our left. On

he playfully but firmly pushed me
back, ran across the street, and en-
tered the store. Through the open
door / saw him shake hands with
the man who stood behind the counter,
for some minutes-both still clasping
hands, as it seemed; but as I mechani-
cally bent with closer scrutiny, the
druggist seemed to be examining the
hand Of Mr.. Clark and working at it,
as though picking at a splinter in the
palm-I could not quite determine
what was being done, for glass show
case blurred an otherwise clear view
of the arms of both from the elbows
down. Then they came forward, Mr..
Clark arranging his cuffs, and the
druggist wrapping up some minute ar
ticle he took from an upper showcase,
and handing it to my friend, who
placed it in the pocket Of his vest and
turned away. At this moment my at
tention was withdrawn by an extra
tumult of jeers and harsh laughter in
the saloon, from the door of which,
even as my friend turned from the
door opposite, drunken woman
reeled, and staggering round the cor
ner as my friend came up, fell VIC
lently forward on the pavement, not
ten steps in our advance. Instructive
ly, we both sprang to her aid, and
bending over the senseless figure,
peered curiously at the bruised and
bleeding features. My friend was
trembling with excitement. He
clutched wildly at the limp form, try
ing, but vainly, to lift the woman to
her feet. ''Why don't you take hold
Of herr" he whispered hoarsely. "Help
me with her-quick! quick! Lift her
up!" obeyed without a word, though
with shudder Of aversion as a drop
of hot, red blood stung me on the
hand.

shoulder-this way-and hold it so !
And now your other arm around her
