Will Continue Free Exchange
A joint meeting of the commission-
ers of the iBlyth Rural Telephone
Company and the Brussels, Morris
and Grey Company was held in Brus-
sels, the object being to take into
consideration the proposal to adopt
a small exchage ratebetween the two
systems.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to continue the free service
and to build another trunk line be-
tween the two central stations, each
company paying the expense of the
new line in its own territory. The line'
will cross the township on the 6thi:
line of Morris.
The commissioners are Messrs..
Sloan, Fingland: and Ellis. for Blyth,
and Messrs. Proctor, Cameron an&
Ross for the Brussels system. Ow-
ing to the increase in business it was.
impossible for one trunk line to look.r
after it all in a satisfactory war. '
