free Toll for Tri-County Line.
It. E. Louden, of Stapleton, owner
of the trl-county telephone line, was in
the city last week looking over tho
telephone lines of that company into
this city. Manager Brown of the local
office went with him over the lines on a
tour of inspection of the lines, and all
lines running into this city will be over
hauled and put in the best of shape.
Negotiations were alto completed
whereby that line will be given free
toll over the lines in this city. Hereto
fore subscribers have had to pay
twenty cents for exchange over the
lines and that has been great handicap
to the farmers living on that line.
This leave only three lines running
into this city that have to pay toll. They
too will probably be connected with the
local office in the. near future. The re
building of this one line will tend to en
courage improvements on the other
lines that they may also be able to give
the farmers and neighboring towns tho
better service.
