Several years ago, when the Scio Mutual Telephone Co. came into be ing. only a few lines were connected with central; later, others connect! d but there is no record of the time when connection was made; many changes have been made In the origi nal by-laws, but no record was made of them snd the manuscript copies could not be found. Our informant says no blame is attached to anyone for these omissions, but their ab sence makes enforcement of the rules impotent. After a thorough discussion of how to bring all lines into service- ab e condition, the following com mittee was appointed to revise the by-laws; G. L. Sutherland, chair man. S. B. Holt, Jam*.s Oupor. J. S. Sticha and J. I).
