A Commix-note.—Will you allow we
a little space in your valuable columns
to correct an ungrounded report con-
cerning the financial standing of the
Goderich Township Teleeppbb000. System.
A report bas been cir'oulated Dot only
throughout our own township but
also through neighboring municipali-
ties, that our system has gone back
financially during the last year and
that we are now one thousand dollars
in debt. This report is both false and
misleading. We do not aim at layiog
up a surplus., but when the books were
audited oo January +td they showed
$lt3.43 more to our credit then they
did a year ago, sad. while we have
$1,033.34 borrowed from the municipal
council, we have $1.485.00 in cash,
agreement papers, stock on hand. eta.
to go against that amount, tearing a
net balance of $431.72 to our credit.
Our telephone system never was in
better shape financially and every
other why than it is today. We
have one of the cbeapeat and most
satisfactory telephone systems in ex-
istence at the present time and any-
one wishing to become • subscriber to
the tame may do so by applying to E.
