Government May SolTe Problem by Takins Over Telephone Lines and Dolsc Array With Double Service. By unanimous action and without discussion the City Council yesterday adopted a resolution directed to the Department of Justice requesting that permission be given the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph Company to begin negotiations with the city and the Home Telephone & Telegraph Company, looking towards a merger of the two companies. Further action by the Council on the proposed merger haa been deferred un til the Department of Justice acts on the resolution. Should permission be granted, the Council plans to call on representatives of the Pacific Tele phone .& Telegraph Company for a guarantee of better service and rea sonable rates in the event of consoli dation. The outcome of the proposed merger rests largely on the action of the United States Senate in its considera tion of the measure to authorize the President to take control of all tele graph and telephone companies throughout the United States. Should the President assume control of the telephone companies those well Informed believe that a consolidation would be effected In Portland by the Government and in time, the automatic system would bo substituted for the manual.
