NO DEFINITE
ACTION TAKEN
New Meeting Held Today
I. Concerning Connection of
Local Telephones.

The telephone committees Of the
city council n the Commercial club
held a meeting today with the board
OF directors OF the latter organization
and discussed the subject of physical
connection etween the Tri-Siate and
the Northwestern Telephone COM
panies. as far as the local exchanges
are concerned.
The situation was gone over very
thoroughly, and various viewpoints
were represented by members Of the
committee, as well as by the directors
Of the club, but no definite action vas
taken in any direction, the tendency
! appearing to favor further steps taken
in the Minnesota situation.
1t was said here that if the connec-
ton becomes ar accom- plished fact. it
will not be primarily a var measure,
intended to be changed back again at
the end of the war, but will be per-
manent.
Telephones in Minnesota.
In his connection, reference was
made to the telephone situation exist
ing in Minnesota where the board Of
railroad commissioners yesterday de-
cided to take action.
Judge Ira p. Mills of the commits
sion said, according to reports re-
ceived here today:
ut is probable that before long we
will be able to announce a number of.
perhaps ten. districts in Minnesota
wherein ono or the other company
will operate, where there now is
duplicate service.
"As &c Minneapolis and st. Paul,
we have to this time gone no farther
than to consider giving St. Paul to one
company n Minneapolis to another.
All these details have yet to be taken
up, but it can now be said that the
| plan virtually is sure to so through"
Vice President F.. w. Randall of the
Tri-State company and O.. Curtis. local
manager Of the Tri-State, and George
e. French, Minneapolis manager of
the Northwestern, said they had no
knowledge Of how it is proposed to
work out the plan.
AS explained by an operating Of
fetal. the possibilities are manifest in
this way:
Northwestern phones. Mime
apolis and st. Paul. ...... .111,420
Tri-state phones. Minneapolis
and st. Paul. ........ 81, 900
Total 1920
Every subscriber having a TrilState
or Northwestern telephone in the
house or Office would retain 1t, subject
to such change as might be worked
out, hut 1t would make no difference
to him whether the other company
came along later and installed its
phone. Every Tri-State subscriber
desiring connection with a North
western number. would call the CEN
trail once by dial and get the connec-
ton made there. Every Northwestern
