Tbe city government of 8alem bjs had
considerable trouble with the telephone
company, which is doing business there,
and an effort wan started at tbe meeting
of the council Tassdsy evening io bring
the company to time.
Io August, 1900, tbe council passed an
ordinance levying a monthly tax of five
cents for each iuetromiat in ate within
the city.
The telephone company later began an
injunction suit to reetain the city from
Collecting said tax. and subsequently the
city authorities arrested W. H. Danev.
tbe local manager of the telephone com
pany, for noncompliance with the ordi
nance, bnt afterward by agreement of at
torneys, both those suits were dropped
aod it waa decided to go into circuit
court and have matter adjudicated upon
an agreed statement ol facta, which will
be taken op on the 10th of this month.
Sow, however, the city has taken anoth
er tack. At tbe council meeting an or-
inance was introduced, passed to sec
ond reading and referred a follows :
The maximum rate f-r rental and
ne to be charged by telephone compani
es for telephones, within the city, is
hereby fixed io tbe following figaree:
For a main line telephone instrnment,
$1 50 per moatrj ; for a party lioe instrn
ment in a store, office or other plan of

line instrnment in a private residence.
5 cents per month."
A fine of $10 to $100 or imprisonment
rom five to 20 days is prescribed lor a
violation of the ordiaoce.
Tbe determination of the city govern
ment is that it the company will pay no
revenue to tbe corporation, it must give
compensatory benefit to the alliens.
