mission on first reading Tuesday after
iIooh' VI course the ordinance which
upon acceptance by the companies is to
become a contract between the Cumber-
lanu company and the city, is subject to
announcement on change and may
never pass final reading. but in its pres
ent form 1t simply gives the companies
What they want with no provision as to
the subscribers. There Is no guarantee
as to what sort of service the Cumber-
iand company shall give the subscribers,
Ior Is there any mention of what rates
Shal pc charged except that upon phys
lcal completion Of the consolidation the
rates shall be at Cumberland rates"
Under the ordinance the Memphis
companys franchise would be aban-
doned and the Cumberland company
would rate over such part of the Mem
pms system as it cared to operate lust
as II those portions had been con-
structed by the Cumberland
Eight months is the limit set for the
competition of the physical consolidation.
PENDING that time the Cumberland COM
pany would be compelled to furnish SER
vice to such Memphis subscribers as
mad not been offered Cumberland SER
vice at the old Memphis rate. In other
words, If o are a Memphis company
subscriber, the Cumberland company
could at any time during the eight
months offer you Cumberland company
service and you would be compelled
either to accept it at Cumberland
rates or have your service discon-
tinued. At the end OF eight months this
option would have been offered to each
Memphis subscriber
The new ordinance follows the Mem
PMS company contract in that under 1t
the Cumberland company shall furnish
TO the city, free of charge, one conduit in
the underground system and one cross
arm upon all poles acquired from the

or Memphis, free of charge, fifteen (t5)
telephone stations with local exchFAge
service therefrom, to be located infhe
public offices of the city of Memphis in
addition to those now furnished by the
Cumberland company
Sui under this clause the Cumberland
company possibly could evade conduit
service in any extension beyond the
present limit of the Memphis company's
conduits.
The Cumberland ompany also might
abandon or fail to maintain the poles of
the Memphis company where the Cum
berland company has a porallel line. and
mus the fire and police wire systems
might become practically imperative.
The Cumberland company does not
seem to give any indication that the
city may use its conduits and poles for

AND BRITAIN
NEAR BREAK OVER SHIP

BUENoS AIRES Aug 5-Diplomat-
ic relations between Great Britain and
Argentina, as a result Of the purchase
by Argentina of the German steam
ship Bahia Blanca, are delicate. ac-
cording to La Nacion. IN today's edi-
ton the newspaper says;
Regarding rumors, we have received
versions, the gravity or which are self
evident and according TO which the
return to London Of Sir Reginald Tow
er, British minister TO Argentina n
the departure of Francisco Alvarez de
Toledo, Argentina minister to England
from London, are not disconnected. on
the contrary it appears the retirement
Of both ministers is traeeable to the
purchase by Argentina OF the steamer
Bahia Blanca from the Germans, which
the British government refused TO rec
ogniZe.
Following this, Argentina attempted
to solve the difficulty by appointing as
minister to London, Senior Toledo, who,
as minister Of marine, handled the ne
gotiations for the purchase Of he ship,
He presented his credentials to the
British foreign office SEINE time ago
but a considerable period has elapsed
without King George receiving him. II
Is reported there Is no probability of
his reception in the near future. It
appears this might have been expected
as the British government never stated
that Senior Toledo was persona grata,
1t will be remembered the Argentina
government has waited n long time for
n response to It's inquiry as TO the
purchase of the Bahia Blanca and there
now appears reasons for believing that
Sir Reginald's favorable lntimatI is rel
alive to the deal were solely his pc
sonai impressions"
Another newspaper, Las Noticias. in
commenting on the situation, says:
"Sir Reginald Tower is being re-
called and Senior Toledo is returning
because King George has not received
him.
1.-THE occasion for the pr sent situa-
ton 1t adds, rs the REFUSAL OF the
British government TO recognize the pur-
chase of the Bahia Blanca, but the real
cause underlying the crisis is the Ar

was found the machinery of the ship
had been partially dlsmantled by the

The ship, however, never went to

the purchase price OF the ship would
