RURAL TELEPHONE MEETING.
The annual meeting of Brussels,
Mttvris and (3rey Telephone Company
WAS held in the Town Hall, Brussels,
Tuesday afteruonu of this week with
F. S. Scutt, President, in the chair
and a large attendance peest'ut.
r\Iranies of
lust annual
meeting read
aud confirmed.
The fivaurial audited statement, for
the past year was read, well discussed
and adopted.
Last years trio was re-elected as
Directors. viz. -F. S. Scott, R. Pi'oc-
Ler and E. Bryaus.
Thos. Miller, of Morris, was re-ap-
poiuted as Auditor.
"In Lha general discussion of the
Oompany's affairs the President gave
an account of the various steps taken
during the year and auswered a run-
ning fire of queries connected with
the same. The growth and success of
the Company has been a (natter of
pride and promise to those connected
with it and the management is to be
commended for the way business has
progressed. It is impossible to work
a system coveri(1g so much ground
and serving so malty people so as to
please everybody but the officiary and
young ladies at the Centra! have made
an booest effort to serve the patrons
and deserve no small credit for the
excellency of the service.
At a subsequent meeting of the
Directors F. S. Scott was're.appniut-
ed President and R. Procter, Vice-
Pl•esid en t.
During the past year M. Black has
performed the duties of Secretary and
J. F. Rowland, that of Treasurer and
attended to their duties faithfully and
well. Harry East as lineman, while
not possessing the gift of omnipres-
ence, attends to his thousand and `one
calls with great faithfuluess and dis-
patch. It is no easy job you may be
sure especially in such wintry weather
as has been on the go this season.
There are now over 700 telephones
on the circuit and a goodly number
will be added in the coming Spring.
This work could be greatly augment-
ed by an increased activity on the part
of the present holders in recommend-
ing the use -,f the 'phone.
