]. Resolution.

North Carolina
Ashe County TX, -:
Be it. resolved by the Ashe Coun-
ty Citizens Club in. regular session
on, the 10th: day of December, 1885.
:. That the present telephone SER
vice in the towns of Jefferson and
West Jefferson is inadequate and
unsatisfactory. This is not intended
as any reflection on the i present
operator, Mrs. w. M. Wyrick, be-
cause we believe her to be very eff
Gent, courteous and accommodat-
ing. It is due TO defective and worn
out equipment and perhaps partly
to faulty installment. "A number
who had telephones have taken
them out on account of this condi-
ton. 49,.
!, That the Southeast Public, Service
Company be requested to remedy
this condition by installing a better
quality of telephones and better
equipment in order that the service
may not be further decreased and
in order that better service. can be
given to the present customers who
are paying a rather high rate.
That copy of this resolution be
spread upon the, Minutes of the
Club, copy furnished the Skyland
Post for publication and copy sent
to the Southeast Public Service Co.
