TELEPHONE COMPANY GRANTED EXTENSION In the dying moments of the final 1939 session of Huron County Council last Thursday afternoon, a by-Iaw was appeoyed granting a 30 -year re- newal of franchise to the Goderich Rural Telephone Co., for the use of county roads in four townships. The granting of this franchise wan the most controversial issue of the session. It was opposed by the Col- borne Township Municipal Telephone System, a competing company, which has offered to buy out the private company at a price. The offerwas refused and the Ontario Municipal Board is to arbitrate. Tlhd Goderich Rural 'Co., a join stock connpany, is the pioneer rural telephone company in Huron. • Its franchise over the roads in diepiuse expires on December 15.
