why the city council of McCook should refuse theBartley Telephone Co independentpermission to run a line in to the county court house Such a line would be a great accom modation to the people of the eastern end of the county in communicating with the county officers on business of the county Granting the permission would be at no cost to the city The city authorities had the same legal right apd moral obligation they had when they granted the Nebraska Telephone Co a franchise The Tribune considers the action taken an error which should be rectifi ed at an early date The fact that this city is friendly to the Nebraska Telephone Co and pays a good round price for the excellent ser vice received does not mean that the people of McCook are opposed to so reasonable and proper an action as the granting of a permit to the Bartley Tele phone Co to run a line into the court house The people and business interests of McCook are not and cannot be in fair ness and reason opposed The Tribune is not in favor of high board fences -but leaves a fair show equal opportunity And the people of McCook are with this proposition New Livery Stable Firm The east Dennison street livery barn has been

its organization Tho club first disposed of a grist of routine business allowing bills otc and then settled down to the consideration of the application of the Bartley Tele phone Co an independent line for a franchise from tho city of McCook to run its line into the court house The matter was thoroughly and warm ly debated and The Tribune is more than pleased to note that the ultimate decision was a just and proper one that is in favor of the city authorities grant ing their request Local Manager Hall of the Nebraska Telephone Co and a few members opposed tho granting Con gressman Norris
