TELEPHONE.
FOR ASkOv
Al = Meeting Yesterday ~ Sign
up for Iacal Exchange

A hurried up meeting was held
at the town hall IN Askov yester-
day afternoon for the purpose III
discussing the putting IN of 4
local telephone exchange. All
though 1t was not known until
Tuesday that the meeting would
be held yesterday 4 crowd Of
about so men turned out,
Mr.. johnson, representative
.of the Tri-State Telephone Co..,
was present and explained the
conditions under which that
company would install ! local
telephone system. The meeting
unanimously moved that the TX
change be put in, owned and ope-
rated by the Tri-State Telephone
Co. The majority were also In
favor of securing free service
with the Sandstone exchange.
Mr.. Johnson said that the price
Of the service per month for resi-
dences and farmers telephones
would be SIPS and business
places $500. OF course he could
not guarantee these rates. but
would have to take 1t up with
company for their final decision,
nor could hc guarantee free SER
vice with the Sandstone ex-
change. Mr.. johnson also stated
that the company could give SER
vice at Sl.00 per month, but he
would not recommend it. He adj
ded that If we want good SER
vice we will have to pay $l.25.
which seemed to be In accord
with the meeting. Poor service
is as good as nothing.
| The matter Of securing 24-hour
service was also brought up, but
whether or not we get this will
depend largely upon the number
Of subscribers secured.
A petition was circulated To
ascertain how many want the
telephone and Al subscribers
were secured yesterday after
noon. The petition is now at the
First State Bank. where parties
wishing telephones, will please
call and sign UP. The sooner the
better. Mr.. Johnson stated that
the company would require be-
tween so and 65 subscribers with
in a radius Of II miles from A.
kov, including Askov, before they
would consider installing a local
exchange. There is hardly any
| doubt but what there will be
more than that number. and in
the entire community within q
radius of 8 miles the number will
probably run over LOO.
Another meeting is called for
Tuesday afternoon, March 18th.
1 at 2:3O p. m, when Mr.. Johnson
will be here and submit definite
/ decision Of the company and cx-
| plain details.
